I’m back and in today’s video I share with you how I got my Pilea to grow from a tiny baby plant into a giant monster. I’ll also answer a lot of the common questions I often get about the Pilea. Why do leaves curl inwards and outwards? What does it mean when the leaves are pale vs yellow? And also, quickly summarize how to care for one of my favorite indoor plants, Pilea Peperomioides.

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?

@MariaCastro-ih8md 4 года назад

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 😁♥️

@CSkye-ps7sw 4 года назад

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 😁

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.

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 💚

@CrazyPlantGuy 4 года назад

That’s so great to hear about your journey and progress he’s made. Glad your Pilea is doing much better.

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

@valeriehowden471 4 года назад

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.

@CrazyPlantGuy 4 года назад

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 .

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.

I always thought it is a must to remove them and put them in separate pots.

It depends on your potting mixture and your watering habits. Terracotta pots are good because they allow a lot of airflow through the pots and soil so you can avoid overwatering if you tend to over water or your soil mixture is pretty heavy.

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.

When you say "cacti soil", different brands of cacti soil have different types/contents. Some brands are just 100% coco peat and call it cacti soil. So what are the contents of the cacti soil you use?

So informative! My plant has yellow leaves all the time, and it’s driving me crazy. I thought it was iron that it needed…like when your bush leaves or small tree leaves turn yellow. I give it fertilizer that has the same ratio of nutrients. Would iron help also? Thanks…love your videos!

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 👍

That thing is huge! Would a tomato cage help keep it upright? Just a thought...

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? 😅
