How To Repot & Propagate | Pilea Peperomioides
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- I had no plans to repot this guy this soon, but I noticed his babies were getting out of hand and taking up a lot of energy so it was time to give him more space.
In this video I'm repotting the Pilea Peperomioides, moving him up from a 4 inch container pot to an 8 inch. I also decided to remove and propagate a few of his babies.
I did have my Go Pro set up so I can capture a close up of this repotting and propagating, but it wasn't on while filming, so I'm sorry you guys couldn't get a closer look. But hopefully you still find this video helpful.

That is the most beautifully structured Pilea I have ever seen, and I've seen thousands!
I’m having trouble getting them into a good shape, any tips??
@@solamsdale9568 they are usually sold as babies because those are easier to ship and mass produce. However, you can grow a misshapen baby into a beautifully symmetrical adult. I would suggest turning you baby regularly to promote even growth. If any leaves are damaged or missing, they will most likely fall off, but new ones will grow. The bigger your pilea gets, the easier it will be to maintain symmetry. I hope that helps!
prickly pear thanks mate! I’ll try your tips

Mine grows to the side. Well, three going over the sides. That’s why I’m here😀
This plant is one of the easiest to care for. Mine is already growing new leaves from the center. I absolutely love it, you guys have to try it. I got mine at my local Trader Joe's store for $6.95 for a plant, it was only about 3.5 inches tall when I got it couple of weeks ago and it is growing fast. Don't forget to rotate it so it can grow evenly as he explains in the video.
I have the same one and shes doing great! Have you repotted yours and if you did what kind of soil and pot did you use?
1st time l’ve heard a plant being referred to as “him” & “guy” which is cool, l guess. Until till he removed Pilea’s BABIES! It’s a beautiful specimen, like the perfect Christmas tree!
An updated video on how he's doing plus the babies. Pleaseeeeeeee!!!!
I can’t believe how quickly these things grow. Repotted a propagated cutting recently and the plant has absolutely exploded overnight
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! I just got this plant and I absolutely LOVE it!! I have to repot it because the roots are literally hanging out from under the pot!! I hope it grows as GORGEOUS as yours!!💖💖💖🥰
Wow! That’s the most beautiful Pilea Peperomia plant 🌱 ever.
🦅🦅🇺🇸
Thank you for this video! I totally did this wrong, I just cut off one branch and put it in water and nothing happened, now I understand I have to propagate the entire baby
Advice at 9:20 was very insightful. After repotting, the bottom leaves did limp and fall off but the rest of the plant recovered and thrived.
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful. Pilea are very sensitive to repotting, but they will bounce back.
Got my first pilea today. I’ve been searching for one for awhile now. I’m so excited! I don’t think a diamond could have made me happier. 😀 Thank you for the vid. I’ll find you on IG. 🌱
Here in Germany they sell em for like 3 dollars
@@kaduko2054 where? In Frankfurt you cant find it!
It’s such a beautiful plant .
This plant is full of personality. It just looks fun!
I just popped some babies off mine and am praying they all make
It ! Thanks
For
The inspo
Your Pilea should win the Oscar for best performance! It's beautiful. Happy planting.
😎😎😎😎😎😎
thanx plant guy, i looked at several videos about propagation and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE explained NADA!! just showing or repeating them selves??! thank you!
I just purchased my first one!!! I can’t wait to see it growing
I agree I haven’t seen as beautiful as yours on my collection or at the store.
The mother plant is such a beauty! ☺️🥰
Oh my freakin’ goodness that pilea is amazing! I can’t wait till mine is huge lol
Thanks! I was vaguely aware this plant could propagate but didn't know how to go about doing it. Mine has a couple of babies. I got one a couple of months ago and it is so happy and thriving with constant new growth, I think it's already outgrown the pot I put it in! So I will repot and propagate the little ones just like your vid. Thanks again!
Awesome. Yeah they give out a lot of babies and I find them to be super fast growers too. Great gifts to give to friends and families.
I put one of my main plant babies directly into the soil and it took off very nicely. Thriving so well I have many babies on that one. Never thought to put it in water until I saw this video!
Yes! In fact babies that big already have root systems...not need to cut them off like that! You just dig around and find the root that leads to mother and in the soil right on top you will find the babies tiny but fully formed roots ready for potting!
Hi Christian! How are you?
Amazing plant and pups!
Guess what I finally bought today? A CHINESE MONEY PLANT! It is a small plant in a 4" pot for $4.98. It has a pup too.
My friend runs a local plant shop. She got a new supplier, who has some wishlist plants. I also bought a small Teardrop Plant for the same price. I bought a medium Goldfish for $5.98. She also gave me a 20%. SCORE!
Yesterday I bought a 10" Brazil for $10.98. It was from my Home Depot. Another good score!
Hope you have a good one,
Gerry

Guys who are good with plants so damn gorgeous 😍
I just got my Pilea Peperomioides about 8-10 days ago and really appreciate this video! My plant also has lots of babies; especially, considering that it's a small, young plant. Hopefully, it can wait until Spring to be repotted into a bigger, nicer pot. Thanks for sharing! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. 🎅🎄❤
Margie McPeak Congrats on your Pilea, and yeah he can definitely wait until spring. Have a great new year as well.
Can you please do a soil video?
Thank you I'll be starting today repotting and propagating my baby I've had my Pilea for two weeks now I absolutely love it !
Such a great plant to have, very easy to care and propagate as well.
My plant needs repotting and this info will be a great help. Thank you I will be starting some babies in water also. Previously I just gave them a small pot and they did well that way also
Very helpful! I just bought one of these cute little plants and he’s already looking droopy so I want to learn everything I can to nurture him!❤️
I resisted getting one of these because if you're familiar with gardening in FL, they look like dollar weeds! LOL But I saw a big one at the store the other day and I bought it. They are actually very cute and different. Finally subscribed to your channel after watching so many of your videos, you really love your plants!!!
I love your use of he/him pronouns for the pilea peperomia and his babies, so wholesome!
I just purchased Pilea last week cause it was pretty, now I know to rotate it & check the soil. Hopefully mine will be beautiful like in the video.
You are great, crazyguy! Your plants are wonderful and your videos too! Keep going!!😄
Your pilea is incredible!
Hi Christian I am Ruby from Australia. Thank you for making your videos short and to the point with less chitchat, yet you are entertaining and sometimes funny, especially with some of your introductions. It helps that you speak fast. I find myself fast-forwarding if a video is too long. You break it down in segments as a separate video as well, even if it is the same plant. This helps too. God bless you and your new business / shop.
This is a great video! I used it to propagate for the first time and it's off to a great start!
WOW...amazing plant.I just got one today.Thanks for posting.
What a stunning Pilea!
I can't wait till my pileas look like that! I currently have two baby pileas. ☺
Your Pilea is sooo pretty 😍 such a GOAL!!!
Love you ,love your plants ...all are so healthy and beautiful..,thanks for sharing.
Sally Smith Thank you. Glad to hear you found the video helpful. 😊🌿
I love that you refer to your plants as him. I do this too with most ha ha
mine just grew it’s second baby!! time to repot!
May I ask how old you (mother) pilea is? I can't wait for mine to grow this big, it already has 2 teeny tiny babies growing 😍😍I'm so excited for all three of them to thrive
Once you bring pilea into your home it begins to take over my grandparents have two entire tables just dedicated to pilea plants the mother plant the very first plant that spawned all the others is like 3ft tall
That is one beautiful plant great job
Wow that’s an awesome plant and thanks for this type of video. Love all your videos especially the propagation ones. Thanks Christian.
Beautiful. It looks so delicate. So pretty. How much light and do you feed it. Another great video
Thank you, that was a great video. I just found your channel and I have learned so much about my plants that I never knew. I just received a Pilea Peperomioides and it looks good but the soil is packed down and I think I will put new soil in. Thank you again.
LOVED this. So helpful! I'm always scared to remove the babies from the mommy LOL Your Pilea looks AMAAAZING
Gorgeous plant.
Propagation Station sounds like a hip nightclub 😅
O - M - G THIS PILEA. It is SO ROUND. Wow - truely stunning ♥
Great instructional video. I just obtained one of these plants. It's not big enough to propagate yet, but know I now what to do.
Excellent video, very instructive, to the point and lots of important detail. Question: My pilea has five babies but the central gowing plant has completely died back... I unknowingly cut the stalk back to 3 inches, thinking it would bush out. Probably very wrong. Now I am thinking to split off all the five babies into separate plants. Do I need to root each of them as shown in the video? or can they just get separated and planted directly into soil in separate pots. What would be the best thing to do? Thanks.
Your pilea looks like one of those balls you throw at a wall and it suctions to the wall.
It’s fabulous, he’s absolutely handsome!
Also thank you for the video!
Most gorgeous pilea I've ever seen. Where are those round glass bubbles available where you placed the babies? Thanks.
I'm still learning about house plant care. Does this pilea normally grow into a sphere shape? Looks too perfect.
In Dutch we call this plant pancake plant (pannekoek plant) i have one myself and am waiting until the babies are big enough to grown in their own pot 😊
In Afrikaans we also call it panakoek plant dis n pankoek plant baie mooi
South Africa ...I love your videos ..just got 2nd plant..my son bought me a hyacith...I bought a ZZ plant ..now I am starting my collection
He’s beautiful ❤️
☺ Beautiful Master Of Plants! 👍
Beautiful plant.
Love artwork behind you!
This was so helpful. Thanks so much!
I LOVE that water propagation station
Stephen Bailey Thanks. 😊
Very beautiful plant. Mine is tiny but growing rather well.
Christian, I just got a baby plant Pilea and I would like to see how your "replanting & propagating went on video.
Hi! How long, after the roots start appearing, do you wait to transplant to soil?
Great video! When during the water cycle is best to repot? My pilea is pretty dry and I don’t know if I should water before I repot? The leaves are also starting to yellow on bottom which is worrying me. Thank you for your advice!
I have one that is growing really large with babies too. But can I just repot the babies in another smaller pot with soil to have a another plant somewhere else in the house??? Why is it necc' to stick them in water and wait for them another 3 weeks or so when I just want additional plants?
When you were cutting the plant I wish you had showed a close-up of Where you were cutting
Nice looking plant, I haven't been able to find them in India ... great video, you are the best Plant guy Christian 👍
Video was very helpful. Thank you.
Loved this video ❤ You always explain everything in such detail which I appreciate. I'm new at growing pilea pepperomias, but have grown many other plants for yrs.. These are a bit picky for me so I really appreciated all the info you shared on them. Thanks from the bottom of my pots!
Your pilea is gorgeous!
I left for six months for work and someone was taking "care" of my plants but now that I'm back most of them are dead or agonizing, including my pilea. She was so robust and perfectly round and now is just a long big stem with 5 leaves at the top. I was thinking of cutting that final top part of the stem and root it on water, but then I wondered what should I do with the remaining stem? can I propagate it on soil? (I've seen you can do that with some plants, like dumb canes). I can't find anything online since the traditional way of propagation is by repotting the babies or by a stem that already has leaves. SOS!! :(
Sofia I was wondering how you went with propagating the top part of the stem? I made the mistake of trying to transplant my pilea into a bigger pot and accidentally ripped off half of the root system, so all of my leaves eventually fell off too 😭😭 now it has finally started to recover after months and months, but only the top has new growth with a long bare stem like yours, please let me know how you went with cutting off the top part if you see this ☺️
this is a super late reply but you can actually put a piece of bare stem into soil, water it, and new baby pileas will pop out! Check out a video by Techplant here on youtube, he did an experiment doing this and it was a super successful method of propagation!
healthy plant . lovely plant
Your pilea is iconic. However, I wouldn’t complain if there was a close up on the baby cutting lol
Beautiful
OmG you have a stunning pilea! 😍
Thank you, very helpful video 🙏🏽 xx
I'm so impatient I'd check for roots each day urghhhh. I'm on my way to buy myself some new soil and a little pilea
Love this handsome guy guide
Great tutorial thank you
So if you have a mother plant that's gone a little haywire and the stem is collapsing, can you encourage the stem to produce higher up so that you can straighten the plant, or is it better to just stake it?
Hello ! Very good video you did here, great job ! I have just a little question, I don't pay attention if you said it but, are we obliged to take the plant out of the pot when you want to take the babies ? And in others videos, can you show us the growth of the babies ? Thank you :3
"His babies".
I love it ^-^
Your PP looks fab! The one I own is throwing off its leaves
Hello, I’m a new subscriber and I recently just got this pancake plant. Can you please list out the details of the soil? You mentioned 3 different things that you mixed together. Thank you.
You've got a beautiful pilea nice and full.......still yet to find one in my area in Saskatchewan.
michelle schafer - If you havnt found one yet, try Canadian tire. I just went last week and they had trays of them! I’m in BC but it’s worth a shot!
@@Jen-zk9se i did find one at the coop grocery store. Very small for $9 but I still got one!! Never noticed anything in Canadian tire. They seem to only get plants when they can go outside, but I'll go check once in awhile when I need perlite and soil and the such
michelle schafer - Oh I’m happy you found one 💛 That’s too bad, Canadian tire stores out here have pretty decent sized houseplants department all year.
@@Jen-zk9se so Canadian tire is like a lowes or home depot or rona where you live?? I wish, I live in a city where the only place you can buy plants is at wal mart. Mind you a person can occasionally find a plant in a grocery store. I have to go to Saskatoon to find and that is about an hour away
michelle schafer - Yes it is minus the lumber. Maybe it’s the different climate out here? 🤷🏻♀️
Great video, and beautiful plant
I never get rid of the soil when I re pot. Why is it necessary? Thanks for the great content!
Nice info, just thinking about the soil you have to clean up.. Buy a cookie sheet from the dollar store to contain most of the soil spillage.
Is there a specific soil to use in pilea peperomioides?
Would like more propagation videos.
Such a cute pilea lol
Beautiful plant. When people do plant videos they never really let you see where they cut. Remember everybody don’t know where to cut. Unless you can show it’s pointless to me.
Preeeetty Pilea😍
My pilea seems very happy and healthy except the bottom leaves are beginning to fall off. She is probably a similar size to the plant in the video; I thought the leaf drop was natural as it got bigger, but apparently that doesn't have to happen (as evidenced by the lovely plant in this video!). Why are my bottom leaves drooping then dropping?
So pretty. Thanks! I have two spider plants, one has a baby but the other doesn’t. Is there anything I can do to have more babies??
