Growing this from a tiny baby plant to this big boy truly makes me a proud plant parent. Which plant of yours have you grown from a baby one that makes you proud plant moms and plant dads?
Outdoor sago palm trees but their about 13 yrs old my pilea l bought tiny n keeps growing l just checked the leaves n they looked like they where getting to much sun ☀️ since l recently moved from San Diego to El Centro California summer was to hot but their all alive n growing 😁♥️
Must be my golden Pothos. This year is my first time ever trying to propagate, starting with golden Pothos because I've heard that it's easy to start with. The plant is not that big yet, but it has a lot of new growth, and I'm really proud of it 😁
I grew my papyrus plant from a leaf cutting a friend gave me, so it went from being a single leaf in water to having more than 10 stems since about March. I can see you're really proud of it and it's very nice to see. take care, stay safe
My plant that's given me the most dramatic growth under my care is my nepenthes ventrata pitcher plant. Bought her as a small hanging basket and she's grown exponentially in only 2 seasons. After much trial and error due to her being my first and only carnivorous plant, she's finally started making pitchers for me! Feeding her a fly the other day had me so excited lol
It would have to be my Heartleaf Philodendron, which I told you before had died off completely except for one longggg vine. I chopped it up and propagated it and now I have four beautiful pots of it!!!
I really appreciate that you stress that plants won’t look perfect. I work in a plant shop and I get a lot of people who get stressed over their plants having a tiny brown spot or a misshapen leaf, etc, and I always tell them that plants, like people, are living things and will naturally have imperfections.
That's what I'm talking about. A content creator who is responsive to his subscribers. THANK YOU Christian for answering ALL my questions (said and unsaid). I'm now armed with how to care for my baby 🙏
I was deeply concerned for the well-being of my young pilea peperomioides that I purchased at the beginning of this summer. He lost all his original leaves and I’ve had to basically babysit him everyday to ensure a proper recovery. I amended the soil to give him more drainage and though he was a little shocked at first, he eventually adapted and has continued to put out new growth. It has been quite the struggle but it is such a beautiful journey and it is so fulfilling to see him recover. I’m so excited to continue to care for him and watch him progress... hopefully to the level of your guy lol Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge with the world 💚
I know these question is for crazy guy but l wanna share my experience my pilea was growing but loosin leaves n finally is keeping her leaves looks fuller lm so happy 😀
Never knew this plant can get this big. Thank you so much for tips. Mine pretty healthy and putting out lots of babies. Hopefully I'll be able to grow as big as yours ☺️
I didn’t even have a question about these and thought I was caring for mine correctly but now I know I’m not watering it right! Now I know why all the leaves are curling upward🤦🏻♀️. I didn’t even pay attention. Oh boy. Now that I see yours again I thought the leaves are supposed to grow inward😂. They look nice that way. Thanks for the tips! So helpful.
That's awesome, I use half potting soil, half Cacti/succulent soil for my houseplants too.. I have for about a year and have been super happy with it. Plus those annoying little gnats wont live in the cacti soil due to being part sand, I've been putting a good layer of it on the very top for awhile now due to that
i've finally got my first Pilea home yesterday! (it's called Pilea "Mojito", it has these little "freckles" :P) And since Skynet is so attentive and watched me google how to care for Pilea's, first thing was it showed me your video on my timeline this morning! xD I'm super happy though, your plants look AMAZING!! I am literally blown away!!
I love the velcro tape and bamboo sticks you use for support. I just found the velcro a few months ago and its so much easier and puts less stress on my plants
Wow that’s a beautiful plant!🪴 I have one of those at home as well. He is just a size of large hand 🤚 but I can see small babies popping out arround it. Really peculiar plant but also lots of joy see it growing like that.
I bought one of these plants in April. In a 2 inch pot. It is now in July huge! Six inches tall and the babies are coming in the bottom. I’m going to propagate some for my son. I have a plumeria I bought at a drugstore 23 years ago. It was 6 inches tall now it is at 6 feet. I can’t wait to see how my Chinese money plant will look like in 23 years!
Water tip.. If you have a sump pump in your basements you have a mother load of ground water. Learned this when mine died and flooded my basement 😁 now my plants are happy and I will be checking the sump pump more often 👍🏻
I’m obsessed with the pilea. So gorgeous. My one has already started outgrowing it’s pot , such a quick grower. Thanks for the info. I didn’t realise we needed filtered water. 🌱🌱🌱
My tap water is really chlorinated and I didn’t know that it was burning my plants! I let my water sit out for a few hours if not over night and it’s helped with all my plants
Quizás parezca loca, pero yo creo firmemente, en que las plantas son seres vivientes que perciben la buena vibración, de los que las cuidan. Mi padre hacía brotar plantas en s y elo árido nadie se explicaba cómo el cultivaba azucenas, y todo tipo de plantas. parecía como si a su paso ellas lo saludaban. Mi madre en cambio, todo lo contrario. Es por eso que tus plantas lucen tan frondosas, y enormes. me hiciste recordarlo. Yo he inculcado a mi nietecito el amor por las plantas,árboles y cuando caminamos vamos abrazando los árboles. Ellos nos dan sombra y frutos. Y cuando los abrazas, te emanas de paz y buena vibra. Disfruten mucho tu video. Bendiciones.
My pilea mom has lived with me for a year. She has 5 babies on their own now. I relocated the family from a south west window to a east window 2 months ago then they dropped leaves like crazy 2 weeks ago. Moved back to a west window and only 3 leaves have dropped since. Rescued! Will give filtered water a try too ... getting lots from my dehumidifier until the cold comes back with the forced air heating.
Yeah they don’t like to be moved around to a new location. They’ll go in shock and drop leaves. Glad to hear you were able to figure out the issue and save it .
Hey C! As for me,I prefer this plant in its "baby 's shape"!I think they are so cute in their little shape...just a personal preference, even if I think your Pilea is impressive!! And yes, I totally agree with You,we have to accept that our plants will never be perfect!Just like us,human beings...nobody's perfect☺😉have a good night!
For sure. I do like how cute they look when they’re small. That’s why I sometimes like to get a baby and propagate on it’s own. They look so adorable. 😁
I just pick one up at my local Lowes, I going to follow your advice on how to care for it. You put so much effort into your plants I'm encouraged to try this one. Stay safe Be Bless
I got one in August, she's quite mature as she's growing pups, one of which I've taken as a cutting and so far, so good! I'm going to try a leaf cutting grow at some point, see how that plays out. Overall, they're a great looking plant, not too be confused with "money tree" as most people know of. Great video, look forward to learning more 👊
I always enjoy your plant videos. In March I purchased a Pilea Peperomiodes after I watched one of your videos and really like this plant. So after the lockdown I went back to the plant shop and purchased another one. They are both looking spectacular and I now have four babies that I transplanted. Tomorrow I will be uploading my Pilea Peperomiodes video and I could not be happier for these plants. Thanks for the motivation to purchase one and for all the tips on caring for this plant. (Darci)
What I've learnt from this one is not to remove the babies! I have a Chinese money plant that is about a year and 6 months old with me and it has 5 babies. I always thought it is a must to remove them and put them in separate pots. I want mine full as well so I will leave the babies in it and maybe re-pot it into a bigger pot and use something to support the stem of the mother plant as is is leaning. Thanks a lot for this!!
Well you inspired me to grow a big pilea. Mine now has over 30 leaves. In east/south window about 6 ft away until our renos done. Finally a new baby coming too and I will leave it with mama. One of my favourite plants. When our crazy wild granddaughter arrives that’s the first plant I move. Ha ha.
I really appreciate you sharing this video with us. Thanks so much! I just love the pepperomia varieties. I have the raindrops but it's not too happy with the growing conditions. Hopefully I can turn it around. It can be a picky plant for sure! Thanks again, it's always so great to see you🪴
so lucky! nowhere around here (Oklahoma) sells them; i had to get one shipped from California - $16 for a two-inch pup with 4 leaves. I'm just glad i found one, tbh
you mentioned you will be touching on drooping leaves but nothing of this was covered. The bottom half of my 8inches pilea stem, the stalks/leaves are very droopy, but the top half is ok, with new leaves constantly sprouting right on top. so what causes the bottom half of those leaves/stalks to be droopy and looking dead?
If anyone has a basement dehumidifier, save the water. I usually put it in a large pail and fill empty gallon water jugs. Also, if you ever get 1/2 gallon containers save those too. When we run water to get hot water, we fill those and keep the lids off for a day or two to let the chlorine evaporate. Things like running the tap for hot water as well as putting hot water in a tea pot to preheat it can give you a lot of future plant water.
Thanks for the real..real..You’re one of my favorite Vloggers . I feel your advice is always great with a fun twist! All the best in your new venture , you’ll do great !
ahhh thank you for covering the nitrogen issue!! mine has yellowing bottom leaves as you described and i had no idea why. i've never fertilized it so do you think i should fertilize once even tho it's autumn or just wait til next spring?
What brand of cactus soil do you use? I have the miracle grow cactus, palm and succulent soil when I repotted mine but it seems to have stopped growing. I know I may need to add perlite.
Hello happy Sunday 😊, to my Pilee And brown spots appeared on them, what do you think it could be? Substrate problems not suitable for this plant? Root rot? 😅
Honestly, today was the first day I've ever heard of this plant and I'm totally intrigued!!! I can't wait to find one. I did see your cat in the background and want to know if a cat would eat it, would it be safe for the cat?
Thank you for the awesome tips..how long do these plants usually live for?I have 3 small plants given to me from a friend..theyre not growing now ..i think they're just dormant now but I really am trying to keep them alive during winter..thx alot
Will I be able to grow Chinese money plant in LECA? I really want to try it my plant at mo is like ur baby plant in pot! So I’m new to having these beauty and don’t want to lose it to overwatering but have heard good things about planting in LECA/clay balls system
Hi, I am a beginner in plants, I have notice my plants are not bushy at all. its facing indirect light next to a window facing south, its growing tall with one single light green stem, but not alot of leaves, looking bare. What should I do to make this plant get more leaves and bushier. thank youth thank
I can’t see the pot size very well, how large is it? My pilea momma is now approaching 2’ and has many mature babies in an 8’ pot and I’m wondering how large a pot to upgrade it to. I want to be able to account for the 3 larger 8” babies in the pot as well as the 5” and 3” babies growing. So I’m thinking wider and not as deep?
Thanks for the info Christian! My 2 year old pilea is growing well and sending out pups regularly but is pale green (not yellow) all over with some cupping. It's about time to repot it so I'll try to up the drainage and see what happens. It might be getting too much light but since we're heading into winter it will get less naturally. It's fertilised regularly so I don't think lack of nitrogen is an issue.
Thanks Sylvie for sharing your Pilea experience and how you’ve diagnose it. I’m also on the fence of taking my Pilea back from the window since we’re heading into the winter. 🤔
Just a thought: add some liquid chelated iron to your water. Available at your local plant nursery. I generally water with 1 Tablespoon chelated iron and 1 Tablespoon liquid fish emulsion to 1 gallon of water. I do this every other watering during spring and summer. It keeps plant leaves very green and doesn’t harm them in my experience. My pilea P. is about a foot tall and grows fast. I did move her from a huge north window to an east window a few weeks ago. I have noticed some leathery paler leaves along the bottom so I think she may have gotten a bit too much direct sunlight. The babies are still growing amazingly fast for October in the Midwest US.
Hi... I got this beauty 5months back as a small 4inch plant... First two months were all ok it was making babies n looking healthy... I repote it n from then on its going through a lot... First mineral buildup underleaf that freaked me out cz I thought it's pest infestation.. Then curling of leaves n now all the leaves just drooping down.... Dnt know how to lift it up.... Plz help.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong with my pilea .. it’s parent root becoming red n purplish.. can I send u picture some where.. so that u can guide what n how I can fix it
Growing this from a tiny baby plant to this big boy truly makes me a proud plant parent. Which plant of yours have you grown from a baby one that makes you proud plant moms and plant dads?

“The reality is, your plant will never be perfect” 👌🏾💜🌱
All my plants are imperfectly perfect 🤓
Wow so reality
Awe I needed to hear that
No way!!! I never knew they could get so big!! That's AWESOME!!
That's what I'm talking about. A content creator who is responsive to his subscribers. THANK YOU Christian for answering ALL my questions (said and unsaid). I'm now armed with how to care for my baby 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it and found it informative. I like making these helpful type of videos as much as my unboxing and shopping ones 😆
I wouldn't take paediatric advice from this guy!
Rainwater tip: I put bowls on my balcony & heavy rains I store the water I’ve collected from those bowls into a pail to use for my plants
I try to collect rain water from my balcony too, but it’s always nothing inside. Rain can’t reach my balcony 👁👄👁
@@azuriaalice9127
Try placing a round bowl right up against the edge ..
That works for me anyhow
@@azuriaalice9127 you may just have to run out and place them in certain areas under sky, that's what I had to do since living on the second floor.
i just got a baby Pilea in the mail today 💚
I'm so excited for it to grow!

Perfect video!! You got to the "how to care for " right away and therefore it wasn't as long and I can watch more!
I love this channel. I have every plant you have and they have been doing better after learning thanks
I love these plants! I have babies all over and enjoy gifting them! Glad your back!!🙏🏼

Fantastic real expert !thanks for sharing😊i just bought a small one now has some confidence to move on.
DUDE I ,LOVE YOU, YOU ARE MY PLANT GURU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND EDUCATING US ALL ; ABOUT YOUR BEAUITUL PLANT

P.s. I've called her Penny, like MoneyPenny, her pup is MiniPenny and the next one will be FunnyMoney 🤣
It’s nice to see someone refer to their plant as “she”. Seems funny to watch this video where the plant is a “he” but produces babies.😉
Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada!!!
I always enjoy your plant videos. In March I purchased a Pilea Peperomiodes after I watched one of your videos and really like this plant. So after the lockdown I went back to the plant shop and purchased another one.
They are both looking spectacular and I now have four babies that I transplanted.
Tomorrow I will be uploading my Pilea Peperomiodes video and I could not be happier for these plants. Thanks for the motivation to purchase one and for all the tips on caring for this plant. (Darci)
That’s awesome. They’re really great plants to own and gift to friends and family.
I have a tiny plant and I love watching this video hoping that some day mine may look something like yours. Love this video! Thank you!
I have used nothing but tap water for my plants and all are super healthy! Must be dependent on area.
What I've learnt from this one is not to remove the babies! I have a Chinese money plant that is about a year and 6 months old with me and it has 5 babies. I always thought it is a must to remove them and put them in separate pots. I want mine full as well so I will leave the babies in it and maybe re-pot it into a bigger pot and use something to support the stem of the mother plant as is is leaning. Thanks a lot for this!!
Awesome guide, thanks. I was looking for a video showing Pilea after a few years and how to model it, and that's what shown here exactly.
Holy freaking crap!!! I just recently got a young one that I love and I never even knew they could get that big 😧😧
Well you inspired me to grow a big pilea. Mine now has over 30 leaves. In east/south window about 6 ft away until our renos done. Finally a new baby coming too and I will leave it with mama. One of my favourite plants. When our crazy wild granddaughter arrives that’s the first plant I move. Ha ha.
That’s awesome. Glad to hear yours is doing well and thriving.
I really appreciate you sharing this video with us. Thanks so much! I just love the pepperomia varieties. I have the raindrops but it's not too happy with the growing conditions. Hopefully I can turn it around. It can be a picky plant for sure! Thanks again, it's always so great to see you🪴
Very informative. Thank you. We need more videos like this 👌🏻
Thank you. 😊
I'm in love with this plant im going to head out and go find one wish me luck.
Such an awesome video! Subscribed! Going to get an 11 inch pot-- hope I'll have a nice time potting her up!
I'm so excited I finally found one! Home depot 14 dollars for a 6 inch pot with lots of babies in one pot.
so lucky!
nowhere around here (Oklahoma) sells them; i had to get one shipped from California - $16 for a two-inch pup with 4 leaves.
I'm just glad i found one, tbh
@@ArmundJay I almost ordered one but didn't want to spend 30 bucks to have it die. I ordered a SOH that promptly died on arrival.
That’s huge I was really surprised
Finally, i just find my little pilea. Hope it growing like yours
Yay. Congrats on finding one.
Thanks for the informative and well-made video
you mentioned you will be touching on drooping leaves but nothing of this was covered. The bottom half of my 8inches pilea stem, the stalks/leaves are very droopy, but the top half is ok, with new leaves constantly sprouting right on top. so what causes the bottom half of those leaves/stalks to be droopy and looking dead?
Friendship plant, supposed to harvest babies and give away. The mother is very generous.
If anyone has a basement dehumidifier, save the water. I usually put it in a large pail and fill empty gallon water jugs. Also, if you ever get 1/2 gallon containers save those too.

King of enormous plants
Thanks thats my thought if it is getting new leaves or baby shoots its happyleave it alone
New subscriber from Morocco. I like plants very much and I hope to have plants like them 🇲🇦❤🌱
Thank you for sharing your skills. I enjoyed watching your video.
Awesome video. Just picked up a 4" yesterday, looking forward to taking care of it!
ahhh thank you for covering the nitrogen issue!! mine has yellowing bottom leaves as you described and i had no idea why. i've never fertilized it so do you think i should fertilize once even tho it's autumn or just wait til next spring?
My favorite plant of yours! ❤️
Thanks...definitely still on my top 5 faves 😁
What is your advice about bottom watering in order to decrease the likelihood of any pest at the surface of the soil?
I think they’re good. Especially if you tend to over water. I prefer to top water since I’ve gotten the hang of it.
hey i have a pilea ne she’s loosing a lot of leaves and also dropping a lot. do u ah e any tips of what i can do to make my plant healthier?
Many thanks for this video . Appreciated
What brand of cactus soil do you use? I have the miracle grow cactus, palm and succulent soil when I repotted mine but it seems to have stopped growing. I know I may need to add perlite.
Question: What are the white long stems that grown on this plant?
Hello happy Sunday 😊, to my Pilee And brown spots appeared on them, what do you think it could be? Substrate problems not suitable for this plant? Root rot? 😅
Hi I hope you can help me. My piles got sun burnt any idea how that can be fixed?
My Chinese money plant has 3 white horns what are they and do I need to do anything with them please advise.
Honestly, today was the first day I've ever heard of this plant and I'm totally intrigued!!! I can't wait to find one. I did see your cat in the background and want to know if a cat would eat
it, would it be safe for the cat?
I have a cat that eats plants. Pilea is safe for cats and mine won’t touch it other than lick it every now and then.
Thank u very much. Always usefull your videos. Hello from France
We need an updated video!!! 😍
You ARE THE PILEA PRINCE 🤴
This video was needed! Great info ☘️🍀💗
Thanks Martha.
Brita filters just improve taste so your tap water is probably fine. You should get a table top water distiller if you need pure water.
Thank you for the awesome tips..how long do these plants usually live for?I have 3 small plants given to me from a friend..theyre not growing now ..i think they're just dormant now but I really am trying to keep them alive during winter..thx alot
I think I have potted mine in a pot that is too big. Should I repot to a smaller pot?
Excellent! Got a small one like you started with!
Great detailed video. Helped me so much thank you.💚
Piekna ta pilea, cudowna😀
Will I be able to grow Chinese money plant in LECA? I really want to try it my plant at mo is like ur baby plant in pot! So I’m new to having these beauty and don’t want to lose it to overwatering but have heard good things about planting in LECA/clay balls system
Oh MY!!! BEAUTIFUL...🌹🏵🌼🌻🌺🦋
Mine is getting crazy and big thank you for the information 😊👍🏻

wooow sooo perfect to design your flowers
Hi, I am a beginner in plants, I have notice my plants are not bushy at all. its facing indirect light next to a window facing south, its growing tall with one single light green stem, but not alot of leaves, looking bare. What should I do to make this plant get more leaves and bushier. thank youth thank
Such an inspiration. Hope to grow mine like that 👍❤
I can’t see the pot size very well, how large is it? My pilea momma is now approaching 2’ and has many mature babies in an 8’ pot and I’m wondering how large a pot to upgrade it to. I want to be able to account for the 3 larger 8” babies in the pot as well as the 5” and 3” babies growing. So I’m thinking wider and not as deep?
I use dehumidifier water for my houseplants and baby bio houseplant food
This looks amazing! 😍
Thanks for the info Christian! My 2 year old pilea is growing well and sending out pups regularly but is pale green (not yellow) all over with some cupping. It's about time to repot it so I'll try to up the drainage and see what happens. It might be getting too much light but since we're heading into winter it will get less naturally. It's fertilised regularly so I don't think lack of nitrogen is an issue.
Thanks Sylvie for sharing your Pilea experience and how you’ve diagnose it. I’m also on the fence of taking my Pilea back from the window since we’re heading into the winter. 🤔
Just a thought: add some liquid chelated iron to your water. Available at your local plant nursery.
I generally water with 1 Tablespoon chelated iron and 1 Tablespoon liquid fish emulsion to 1 gallon of water.
I do this every other watering during spring and summer. It keeps plant leaves very green and doesn’t harm them in my experience. My pilea P. is about a foot tall and grows fast. I did move her from a huge north window to an east window a few weeks ago. I have noticed some leathery paler leaves along the bottom so I think she may have gotten a bit too much direct sunlight. The babies are still growing amazingly fast for October in the Midwest US.
@@nichelle6058 thanks! I hadn't thought about a possible iron deficiency but it's certainly possible! I'll source some and give it a try 👍
