You’ve been enjoying your Momma Pilea Plant, and one day you notice a teeny tiny little baby popping up through your houseplant soil! Could it be? Could you now possibly have two Pilea Peperomioides? Indeed you do! These little ones are also called Pilea Pups.

Make sure you wait long enough for your little one to survive on her own. Mine are about 2-3″ tall.
PILEA PROPAGATION SUPPLIES NEEDED
-A Sharp Clean Knife
-New Houseplant Potting Soil
-4″ or Smaller Terra Cotta Pots (depending on the size of your baby Pilea)
-Or a Glass Rooting Bottle
HOW TO PROPAGATE YOUR PILEA PLANT
Dig with your fingers down in the soil as the baby Pilea guides you to her preferred place of cutting.
You’ll want to try to get as much of her root as you possibly can.
Next, simply cut the baby pup away from the mother Pilea.
From here you can decide for yourself if you’d like to water root the pup or soil pot the pup.
I chose to soil pot by simply planting the Pilea Pup Rooting in Moist Soil.
If you choose to water root, you simply place in a small rooting bottle of water.

Thank you for great information. I have had my pilea for a year. It looks healthy but I have yet to have any “pups.” I think the pot it is in is too small. I am going to repot it. After it settles in I will fertilize it.
You are most welcome Colleen!
Is your Pilea getting enough SunLight?
I have found mine produce more pups when they receive proper lighting.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I love hearing all about other’s Pileas.
Mine has gotten so tall, it’s leaning. Can I cut the top off and propagate it?
Hi Gayle,
Thank you for enjoying my blog.
I personally have not cut mine off, I staked it with a stake and clips. I also let the babies grow around it to create a fuller plant.
That being said, I have however seen other Pilea owners who have successfully cut off the top of their plant and rooted it.
I am always afraid to try it. I wish I could be of more help, but it’s one Pilea situation I personally have not ever done.
Thanks a bunch,
Erin
