Oh my God the cat moments are priceless, your knowledge is so impressive, love it! ❤
Your first pilea peperomioides video helped me revive the poor little, overwatered ,sad looking plant I bought off the Lowe's clearance shelf. It had 2 plants with 5 good leaves between them. Both are 4 times bigger and full of leaves. And the taco test works on alot of houseplants, so thank you for that too!!
lol
Oh my gosh, the taco test has saved my plants from me LOL
Love the Muffin cameo!
I started my houseplant collection because of you. My first plants being golden pothos, Hoya australis and scindapsus pictus argyraeus. From watching your videos and u saying they were fast growers. Going on almost two years now I have over 78 plants am obsessed with plants and have never been so happy and positive about life. I love my plants and I watch your videos all the time still especially when I’m repotting I’ll play your videos in the background or I’ll go back to a video to relearn something. I love Chinese-evergreens and Hoyas😫. You, planterina and harli g have showed exactly how beautiful plants are! Always supporting you!
Love the kitty coming in the video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Love the fact that your cat decided to take over this video 😹 Thanks for the tips!
May we have a video on muffin care next???
Muffin completely stole the show in this video. 😻
Muffin is soooo adorable oh my gosh!!!
I just ❤ this little beauty. I've wanted one for the longest time, but this is the first video I've seen on how to care for one, and I'm so glad I watched. It doesn't seem fussy, and I have the appropriate light for one. YAY! Thanks so much, Nick. Great informative video. ❤ 😊
Ok I love Muffin. Your face just lights up everything she crashes into you. We need more Muffin.
Lol, love the cat interruptions!😂
I’ve always had a few houseplants but it hasn’t been until the last couple of years that I’ve added a lot to my collection (who knew there were so many varieties of snake plant?!). I have my first pilea, and she’s doing okay but I cannot wait to watch her grow.
And my cat was sitting in front of my keyboard while I was watching this, so I get it!
I 💚 the pot you have it in. I think the plant prefers ceramic and plastic over terracotta. I’ve had mine for a couple years and we’re still working on it…yours is adorable 💚🪴
Hi Nick! Muffin gona ignore you once you're finished, watch. Muffin just wanted some air time. Beautiful cat though. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Love the cat!
just melted over and over again with those cat moments ❤😂
I love muffin whipping you with her tail ❤️🐱
Thankyou or the video. I gave my boyfriend a pilea. Didn’t know exactly what was going on with the babies I have been seeing
Look forward to more videos
I just got my first houseplants as an adult a few days ago, thank you so much for the advice! Also I’m a wildlife conservationist and your cat has the most beautiful healthy coat and looks to be in good condition so you must be good at caring for multiple life forms!
Such great timing that this was the plant of the week, I just noticed over the weekend my Pilea has sprouted a little baby!! I'm so excited to propagate when she gets big and strong enough! Love your videos, and love Muffin's cameo!
I love seeing Muffin in your videos!
Excellent vid and bonus kitten won a subscribe--- I followed a "pilea are okay for low light" advice and a previously healthy plant is now sad and being nursed back to health. The taco test is gold, thanks so much.
I just received this guy for Christmas from my daughter. Thanks for all the tips
I think I'm on my 3rd pilea... I'm not giving up:)
River, my Dalmatian, was so enthralled by Muffin walking around that she would try and get her, behind my laptop, when Muffin went off screen:) So cute!!
LIVING FOR MUFFIN!!!! my boy black cat coffee is her literal twin (with one less eye lol) and loves his attention. You are my fav Nick, love the way you share information. Ive been caring for a pilea pep for almost a year now and i remember referencing your first video. overtime they really create their own unique shape which is what i think draws attraction to growing one. Happy New Year!
And this episode with special guest star Muffin!
Im jealous! I had one of these plants. I tried less water, more water, less light, more light, more humidity and it punished me by dropping all of its leaves. 95% of the plant died. I took the other 5% and now I’m trying to water propagate it. We will see what happens, but I’m still upset…. 😢
What Ive recently learned, while my other plants want humidity, this plant wants dry! Like super dry, dry enough to lift the whole plant with roots and soil right out of the pot and then water! It will droop like crazy and that's a good thing! And then once you water it, it's so happy and will burst with new growth!
Just subbed. I’ve seen your videos wondering my feed and this video did it for me. I was going to look one up today and yours happen to just show up and blew my mind how easy this plant is. Thank you so much. Keep them coming!!
I love it when that beautiful 4leged angel of a cat makes its entrance on your videos..pls don't stop .
I love you and all of your videos. I watch them right now as im going through a touch time in life. Keeps my plant journey on point. Plants are helping me deal with a death., So thanks for your videos but THIS ONE TOOK THE CAKE! Sweet Pea acts like my cat lol so needy. YOUR FACE lol thanks for posting this take as is
Brill Vidio again Nick. Im gonna buy this plant tomorrow as just seen them in Lidl supermarket so again the timing of me seeing this Vidio is spot on. I've been wanting one for so long and it's only £3.99 p. about $5. ( unsure on the £-$ difference.) Thanks Nick for your work and enthusiasm.
Love love love your cat. She should join every video.
I appreciate you mentioning the taco test from time to time because I forget about that test.
I have killed about 3 of these.
I’m strange because when I can’t keep a plant alive, I continue to buy them until I keep them alive ! Lol. Currently I have four big beautiful pilea at my home now.
Ugh muffin just won me over I had to hit the like button lol. And Nick ofc!!
Thanks for all your tips.. and your kitty is just lovely..
I just got one for Christmas. Thank you for this video.
Omg your cat looks EXACTLY like mine 🙀🥺 (and no not all black cats look alike lol!)
I just got a baby pilea pep and decided to check out this video and I’m glad I did!
Your instructions are clear. I really enjoy your instructional videos. Love the kitty!
Love your videos! I just had to go find one to purchase before even watching the whole video. Next, the right light. Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you for this video, my plant has started dropping leaves so I will be moving it to a sunnier spot! Would you be able to do a help tip video on the Calathea Medallion plant? I've got one that thrived in the summer months but isn't doing so well in the winter!
I am very much a beginner, I live in freezing cold Canada and I have had this plant since September of last year. He sits in north facing window with a good view of the sky. I let him dry out to drooping and dry enough to pull the whole thing out of the pot and that's when I water. Then he perks right up!. It has grown over twice the size since I've gotten it, and growing many babies. Easiest plant I've ever had. He's my fave.
Today I got a 4 inch pot for $3.50. Wild to see how prices change over time!
Just discovered your channel and l'm so happy because you have just given me some very useful tips on keeping this particular plant alive and happy. I was having so much trouble trying to figure out how much water it needed but the taco test will be so helpful! Thanks!!!
Thank you for this video! My plant was doing well until I moved it off the windowsill, when it started dropping leaves. They're now back in the windowsill, and I'm making sure that I'm watering it properly now
I LOVED MUFFIN'S EXTENDED APPEARANCE!
Thank you so much for this video! One of the most informative I’ve seen - I will be a much better plant parent now :)
My four Pilea Peperomioides were suffering from a lack of water - I just got a reminder to water them, so while watching they got some much-needed water. One of them will get a new home, it was suffering, where it lived.
Really cute plant! I may need to try one of these. Beautiful cat! I also have a black cat and his name is Freddie! He is also a love bug 💕
We have 2 black cats.. Gina and Wesley Snipes!! Plus 3 other indoor cats.. and many outside cats that we feed and are taking to get fixed! My son is the cat whisperer!
I was recently given one of these little ones! I love the "UFO" look of it... I learned a lot from this video! Thank you
Aww beautiful Muffin cat ☺
My leaves dropped but ever since, have kinda slowed in producing more leaves, this video is helpful. Thank you. And yes, Muffin is definitely needing attention. It is a very important part of your family as Pumpkin is to ours.
Your cat makes the video so much more interesting! Lol 😂 The best! Thanks for all the good info. Your little plant is so cute! I just got one and I can’t wait to see it grow! Good video, thanks 😊 👍
I have been watching your videos for a couple of months now and you are such a great help in helping me decide on which plants to get and how to care for them! I'm seeing this particular video at the perfect time since i just ordered it off Etsy. It's been hard to find here for me (Texas). Again love all your videos and Muffin!
Muffin is sooo sweet 😻
came for the plant. stayed for the kitty. purr...........
Love your sweet cat😻
Hi Nick! I found one of these a few years ago, but it didn't last very long. I may need to try one again. It was so much fun seeing so much of Muffin! She definitely wanted some loves and attention. She's such a pretty kitty. I call my little fur baby sweet pea, too! Thank you so much for sharing!
I bought one from Menard's a couple months ago and the plastic info tag has "Water: Daily" for the requirements! Glad I haven't stuck to that. Yours is a nice overall round shape, hopefully mine looks like that soon! That cat is so sweet, just leave her be in all the vids 💕 Thanks for your explanations, I always learn something from you!
Your cat is gorgeous! I just bought a Pilea Pepperomioides today! I can't wait to see how it grows :)
Your cat is adorbs ❤
YOUR CAT IS TOOOOOO CUTE!!!
Muffin was very entertaining today!
Would you be able to tell why my Pilea peperomioides is dropping the lower leaves and the new leaves are growing in curved (almost like the top half of a Pokémon ball)? I’m assuming she needs more light, but that didn’t seem to help either when I tried it for a while before…
This
Came for the plant, stayed for Muffin.
I'm realizing I've been giving mine way too much light, no wonder the leaves keep falling off! Thanks for the info, hopefully mine will survive.
Your plant is so cute 🥰 and so is your 🐈⬛ cat.
I want to find one of these plants. They are so funky looking. 😊
I am a balcony gardener and have just started my indoor plant collection or rather have started migrating some plants inside. I have been binge watching you videos all day. lol Love your content very informative. Muffin made me subscribe. lol I have a black catto too. I would love a video on beautiful houseplants that aren't toxic to cattos or fur babies for everyone else or any tips you have to keep them away from the toxic houseplants if you were to have them.
Muffin made the video more sweeter😄
Thank you ! Love Muffin too!
Very useful video
Happy gardening
I don't know how TH-cam knew to recommend this to me. But what a great rec. Insta subscribe!
MUFFIN!!!
I still can't get my leaves to flatten out lol
Loved seeing your cat
Perfect video. Thank you!!
Your cat awwwwh
Sweet plant and cat 🪴🐈⬛
Love the tips and the cat 😻
Awww I love muffin
Muffin really said “make this about me” 🐈⬛🐈⬛
Ok so my PP is a long trunk and just maybe 7 leaves at the top. My question is, will it grow more leave on the bottom at some point? (I think I was overwatering) or will it just keep growing them from the top as it gets taller? Thank you!!!❤
The plant reminds me of the Jetsons
My Pilea is NEEDY! It is directly under a bright grow light and in a self wicking pot because it’s a THIRSTY plant! The leaves are the size of my hand though so I think I’m doing something right 😅
I just bought a pilea yesterday and it looks like a Chinese money plant at price chopper while waiting for my appointment to get my haircut it was only 3.99
Preciosa planta acabo de adquirir una esperó y me vaya bien saludos 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Awww such excellent timing! Mine is struuuuuggling 😒
Thumbs up for Muffin!
Hi Muffin!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I actually had two of these plants and gave one to my son’s girlfriend. What I’m confused about with mine, is that the leaves curl the opposite direction of yours. Like, your leaves cup upwards, mine are cupped down. I hope that makes sense. Does that mean anything? I only water it about every two weeks and it’s in a southeast window. I’d appreciate any advice!
Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴🌵
Muffin
I keep performing the taco test on mine, but it feels like its...always pliable. Even when the moisture meter says it's still in the damp range. (I'm going to repot it in case the issue is the soil.)
I hope you tell us of the curling of the leaves
MUFFIN! She says "it's my time to shine!"
Love muffin ❤
Hi muffin hehe did she ignore you are soon as you stopped filming?
I got my pilea at the right time. It was tiny but has done so well.
I gave up this plant 😢😂 it’s been dropping the bottom leaves. Not sure if it needs more light or i overwatered it. Lol
My leaves are very light green in color. I have it in an east window. Is it getting too much sun?
I need this video. Lol mine is growing and making babies but also keeps loosing leaves and the leaves are hardining off weird they aren't flat they are cupped like little umbrellas.
Good evening, if it isn't to much can you do video philodendron brandi.
A little cat jealus of a pilea peperomia :3
Thanks for the video. my plant is losing its lower leaves and has a baby about 2 inches tall. So I separate them?? I have them in a plastic pot and then a terracotta to hold them in. I'm going to move her closer to the window it's a north window.
