GROWING MORE BEAUTIFUL PILEAS FROM YOUR OWN PLANT THROUGH PILEA PROPAGATION. IT’S SUPER DUPER EASY!

Pilea Peperomioides Propagation How to Care for Chinese Money Plant | Simply Living NC

Has your Pilea Peperomioides produced baby Pileas?

Are you wondering how to go about Pilea Peperomioides Propagation and How to Care for your Chinese Money Plant?

You are quite the lucky one to have added this gem of a houseplant to your green family! It’s one of the trendiest plants and hash tagging #Pilea on Instagram will provide you with hours of Pileas! The Pilea Peperomioides is quite hard to come by, but once you do get your hands on this beauty your heart will forever be smitten! This Trendy Houseplant is one unique little lady, to read more a bout her you may enjoy my first Blog Series:
“Pilea Peperomioides Chinese Money Plant The Trendy Plant”

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. You’re probably asking yourself right about now, “how in the world to do take away my baby Pilea from her Momma?” Well it’s actually quite easy and I’m here to help you step by step with Propagation of your Pilea Peperomioides also known as the Chinese Money Plant. 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.

Now it’s time to sit back and watch your baby or babies grow big and strong like their Momma!
Oh my heart, aren’t they the cutest lil’ Pileas you ever did see?!?
It’s been about 4 weeks since I propagated my baby Pilea Pups and they have already started producing new leaves!
It’s so much fun watching these little ones grow towards the Sun! I hope you enjoy your Pilea Peperomioides as much as I do!

    Super Fun Robin!
    I’m so happy I was able to help provide some info and guide you along the way to purchase your nursery supplies for your new Pilea!
    Stay tuned for more Pilea blogs!

    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
