@@mixonplantsncrafts I had purchased one pilea peperomioides. About 4 years ago. It got leggy and I didn’t know. Or I didn’t research that you could root the top portion in water , so it didn’t make it. Tried to root the top portion in just soil. Anyways maybe. Who knows. Happy planting 👍🏼
Pileas are now fascinating to me because of that puffing thing 😂 As for the tons of babies, you said you were going to sell some plants at a… farmers market if I remember correctly? So just take them along with you! The ones you don’t sell you could then give away 😊
The puffing thing was new to me too, and now I absolutely love this plant! LOL! I had to cancel the farmers market this year because of Lobo's condition. I don't feel comfortable leaving him home alone, especially between 4-7 PM when he needs his meds on time. I need my husband with me to help during the sale, and unfortunately, I don't have close friends nearby to assist. I considered selling on Etsy, but it seems like a lot of work.
@@mixonplantsncrafts oh, that’s too bad 😕 But family’s more important, of course! There’ll be other events. Have you tried fb marketplace? Or fb groups. Some people also sell through ig, with posts or stories
It is hard to kill that plant since it pups a lot, but I made an error and put it in a deep pot because of the long stem. I decided to repot a few weeks ago and didn't realize how shallow the roots were. Moving it into a shallow pot allowed it to start growing again. Very unusual plant. Oh neat, you have pups growing out the side. If you have a water softening system, remember it use salt to soften the water which may not be good for houseplants.
Mine did the same with the roots. I realized the roots was shallow and the bottom had rotted in a deeper pot. I don't use the straight soften water I do filter the water and or use distilled water. Our outside water is hard water and that is also a challenge.
Are the babies coming out of the holes in the side of the pot? I’m thinking that growing one in a strawberry growing pot or similar might work? New project for pottery class!
Thanks for the great information. I would like too have success with this plant. Happy planting 🎉🎉🎉❤.
Thanks for watching. You'll have to find someone with this plant and get a free pup. Keep trying. :)

I had one of these back in 2021 and I unalived it. But I was at a plant swap last Sunday and got a baby! We will see if this one survives!
Best of luck with the new one. My first one didn't do well but the second one grew well. Hope you also get lots of babies. :)
🇸🇦👍

It would work great in a strawberry pot. (Good thinking) And yes the babies were coming out of the holes. 🤣😂
