This is by far the most informative and to-the-point youtube plant channel out there. It's literally a treasure trove of years and years of plant info and research. I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much.
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Im glad they are helpful!
I totally agree. He’s amazing.
couldn't agree more!
Every time I’m looking for a video topic and find out that tech plant has made a video on the topic, I am overjoyed!! You never let me down - videos are detailed and to the point. I have so many thriving plants because of you (except for my pilea I accidentally left outside in the cold overnight). Thank you!!
Wow, thanks for the kind words and watching my videos!
I've come full circle back to this video lol. I recovered that pilea, but it was looking leggy. Just followed the steps you recommended and look forward to some beautiful new plants this spring from my propogations under grow lights this winter. ❤
Almost can’t wait till mine need to be cut up🤣. Thanks a lot another great video
i hope it grows fast so you can soon!
Oh my goodness What an Awesome Teacher, He covered EVERY question I had.... Thank You
I love your propagation videos! Your detailed process and documentation throughout the months is awesome!
Thank you so much!
This is such a unique video. The way you explain and show your progress is excellent. I’ve watched so many videos on pilea plants and they are very similar. This video is by far the best one and very different from all the other videos online. Thank you for all these ideas, I can’t wait to try them. Amazing video. Thank you.
This deserves so many more views
Thanks!
This came just in time! My pilea has lost all its leaves but 1. I was thinking it was a goner. But I’m gonna take the stem and try this. Thanks so much.
Love your experiments and conclusions!👍🏻
appreciate the kind words! im glad you are enjoying thme
i am eager to try this!! thank you for your systematic approach to propagation. you rock, human!
You can do it!
Thanks a lot. All I could able to save is a little stem. Timely one to save it. I have been searching for videos a lot n put it in water for ten days, not seen any babies…this is amazing video very clear and crispy 🤗😍
Thank you so much! Best video I've found 💚
Yay pepperoni babies! ^-^ Such neat plants.
Yes they are! i like seeing them multiply
So glad I found your channel.
thanks! enjoy!
Excellent! Just what I needed.
Perfect!
Thank you so much for this video! I just cut off the top of what I thought was my dead pilea plant today and threw it away. I just dug it out of the compost pile and noticed that there is a tiny growth on it!
Awesome!!!!
THANK YOU I just got a sad pilea; large stems with very little leaves. You’re a lifesaver
Glad I could help! Good luck on your journey with your new plant
Thanks for this, I’ve been waiting. I’ll give it a try!
Have fun!
So cool! Not something I would think to do, however, I will DEFINITELY try it now! Thanks. :)
This is Great! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort and congratulations on your successes! I'm ready to try this and have every confidence for success!
Best of luck! Thanks for watching!
Omg! I'm really glad I found your channel. I was about to re-home mine. I just started propagation in sphagnum moss today because of you detailed videos. Keep up the great informative videos.
Good luck!!
How did your prop go?
Thanks much. Really a lot of info. Thumbs up👍
Very cool experiments, Thanks!
Thank you!
This is the best video to help me with mine. Thanks.
awesome good luck!
This is beyond cool !!!!!!! Thanks, super useful
You're welcome!
Excellent tutorial!!!
BRAVO,, EXCELLENT,, best video on pilea propagation... Your last vid and this update taught me more than the 5 other vids I watched.. I feel so much better about cutting my baby up now, (lol) .......... 💛❤🧡💚👽
Glad it helped, yeah i was surprised to see that even chunks of the stem could do that so im glad i documented it and could share! Good luck with your propagation!
This is a great video bc we get to see th✌️e experiment ourselves! You looking over it and learning it's care from what you saw in results - that made me subscribe
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub!
Love this video. it is very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
my Pilea peperomioides has 1/3 bare stem due to it losing leaves and me pulling off some leaves. today I saw little babies growing, all around, along the whole bare stem 🤩👌
Great Video! Thanks, I am going to try this!
I enjoyed when watching and a lot of idea how it works it thank for the info God blessed
Yay new video! 😀
Hope you enjoyed it!
Holi cow!! Your going to have hundreds of them that's amazing
Thank you a lot!
I don’t know how I ended up here but this video is te best! 👏👏👏 just subscribed!
Thanks!
The science of propagation !!!
Ugh I just threw out a dead one. Wish I would have watched this video 1st 😩. Great job
well at least you know for the future! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I was looking for exactly this type of video. Glad I didn't give up. I dont have moss tho. A ton of perlite tho. Let me see ....
perlite can work too!
looks like you grew some fresh moss too!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Love ur channel
Thanks!
Best video for propogating pilea.. Just chopped mine 😄
Nice 👍 I hope they grow well for you!
Thank you so much
No problem, thanks for watching!
👌🏻Thank you very interesting!
Thanks for watching
I recently started using sphagnum moss for propagation, and I'm loving! Interesting to see how well the plain sticks without any any leaves produce new plants!
I love sphagnum moss too! perlite works really well too ive been starting to mix it recently and its nice!
I hate that sphagnum moss works so well because it is not cheap. Nothing works quite as well though. Not even perlite imo.
@@hugoh.9694 I've heard it's expensive, yes... I'm lucky enough that I can collect it myself in the forest. At least you can reuse it somewhat!
@@ronjag97 Lucky you! I always reuse it in some fashion. Even if I just mix it in to my philo mixes. They go nuts with it. I wish there was some science explaining why it works so well. I know it has high levels of iodine which is effective against yeasts, molds, fungi, viruses, and protozoans. What more could you ask for really? 🤷♂️🤸♂️
Thank a lot for sharing your vedio awesome tips and information that I can learn beautiful plants great propagation new subscribers watching from California
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
The sticks with leaves have to use majority of their energy to keep the "old" leaves alive and little energy to make roots. The stick by itself can spend all it's energy growing pups.
great video thank you
Thanks!
Ahhh I moved for six months to another country and I thought my plants were in good hands but they were no at all 😭 my super gorgeous afro-pilea lost aaaaaall of its bottom leaves, it was almost three years worth of humongous hand palm sized leaves... I was so upset! I searched and searched about plain stem propagation, but couldn't find anything... I'm so attached to my plant I was waiting to cut it until I find something that looked trustworthy and omg thank u, I now feel comfortable enough to chop my leggy pilea, the stem was about 30cm tall. Hopefully this works!
Good luck! I hope you get a lot of babies!
Wow!
Thanks for watching!
great video, how do u encourage the plant to grow a long and thick stalk?
Hi Do you cover the sphagnum moss container with a full cover and do you put these in grow lights?
I love my Pileas!
I wouldn't try to cut them and propegate, because my Pileas are my first plants and I love the four I have. Also I'm scared I'll kill them. And now they have three little babies. I realized the third one today. Someday I'll try this too though. I also love this video.
very special story! someday when your original ones become too leggy try it with one of them! Thanks for watching
My pilea is not thriving . I've held back on getting a new plant. Now I have hope that it will bounce back with a cutting or two. I'm going to have to grab some sphagnum moss this weekend.
Best of luck!
Where I live, I can't find sphagnum moss. Do you think moist coco coir would work?
Awesome video! I’m going to try this on what is left on my pilea after I chopped the top off to root in water.
Do you think taking the bottom of a leggy rubber tree stem would work the same if stuck in sphagnum moss?
no idea but if you are just going to throw it out mine as well try!
When the babies grown out of stem, is it better to put in soil vertically or horizontally? I saw you did both. Btw that razor with no protection gives me chills!
👍👍
I propagated the heck out of my pilea about 6 weeks ago and it got a bit out of hand.
I've now got 8 pileas pottet, the leftover root system from the mother plant (wich is producing a lot of babys). Five stem cuttings in sphagnum moss and one baby still in water.
I'm still waiting on the stem chunk babys to get bigger most of them are tiny and barely visible but there are a lot of babys.
awesome, they prop really well its crazy!
I have a dying one sitting in water. It has a few roots, but its been about a month and no new ones, no new growth. I moved it to a west window, turn yellow. Brought it back behind the sheer curtain. Do I need moss and a grow light?
Amazing little video thanks for this. Can you propagate pilea with just leaf cuttings?
ive heard you cant but i dont know for sure
This video is exactly what I need for mine. Will be following your lead step for step tomorrow. Thank you 😊
You got this!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for the past week. Wow! RUclips suggested it. Somehow youtube knew what ai was thinking everytime I looked at my contorted Pilea. 🤦♂️
When di dyou do it? Can we propagate the pilea in any season? Thank you.
What's the actual difference between sphagnum mosses. I want the kind you have, I got a big bag of sphagnum moss however it looks similar to coco coir but a more soil texture. It works good but I like the kind you are using. Any advice?
There is sphagnum moss and then there is sphagnum PEAT moss. Peat moss is broken down sphagnum moss. Peat is very cheap and long fiver sphagnum is expensive. I get mine on amazon
I need to get me one of these plants
Just watched your video, just ordered a packet of sphagnum moss, ready to chop some heads off.
Lol how did this work out for you? I’m about to order the sphagnum moss too
Add maxicrop liquid seaweed to your water and you’ll notice even MORE DRAMATIC RESULTS!!!
Can get from amazon
ok ill look it up sounds interesting
Have you tried mixing sphagnum moss with peat moss? I've got my own experiment going with a raphidaphora tetrasperma that I bought that turned out to be an unrooted cutting. I cut it into three plants by node with one in sphagnum, one in peat, and one in a mix. The one in mix looks like it's doing the best? I think the mix is retaining more moisture while still remaining breathable. I haven't pulled them out yet though.
havent tried it, i know peat is acidic so i dont know how much that would effect things. I know a lot of people do perlite sphagnum mix
@@TechplantChannel ? Sphagnum moss is more acidic than peat.
I think you might have them mixed up... I almost always see perlite mixed with peat moss as well. I've never heard of mixing sphagnum with perlite. It drains so well already I'm not sure why you would?
Hello. How you ever tried this in Leca or Pon. Thanks so much for your videos
I have not I think pon would work better than leca
ooohh oohhh how about leca propagations vs spagnum and water with nutrients??
i can try!
Looking forward to cut my pilea in pieces!! This is precisely what i was looking for :-D
Enjoy!
Haha
“Now you should have a palm tree looking thing”
Yay im first❤️❤️🌱
Nice job!
Where do you get your sphagnum moss?
Been trying to find a good deal
amazon, i will update my links on the descriptions with the stuff i use
Petco
Very well set out propagation process. Will certainly try it on my leggy pilea. Thanks so much
Do leave it covered or uncovered? Under lights or no light while in the moss?
mine were under lights for 15 hours a day and un covered
this is so cool, do you think it would work with a peperomia obtusifolia? mine is looking like a palm tree but i’ve been too afraid to try anything
Im really not sure since i have 0 experience with this plant, their might be videos about it on other big plant channels thought! I hope you can find your answer
They are easy to propagate but it's a different method, there's lots of videos on here if you search!
I really wanna try this! do we absolutely have to use sphagnum moss? or could we just use perlite or water?
Perlite should work fine as well!
@@TechplantChannel just wanted to come back and say thank you! I've cut my plant in half and I have major success. The bottom half has grown a lot of babies with a bunch of huge leaves, the top half has grown a small baby, and I even propagated through a leaf cutting - which took the absolute longest, but resulted in a baby big enough for its own pot :))
One reason the stems do better than the ones with leaves is because the energy is going to the leaves. We always when we propagate plants we either cut the leaves in half or none
Interesting
can you propagate a Leaf without a bit of the stemp? my propagations are doing something like a rhyzom but yet no roots
im not sure, people say you cant but other pilea do so im unsure
@@TechplantChannel ok then i will keep trying :))
Do you dabble with tree cutting? Specifically Japanese maples. I’ve noticed that people have quite a lot of trouble rooting cutting or even from seed. I’ve been trying seeds for a few years with no success. Other plants and trees much different story. Haha little trouble with cedar and some evergreens
I have not im sorry, in the future i will try tree cuttings!
Can we directly keep it in potting soil instead of keeping in sphagnum moss, Will that produce root or baby plants?
Never tried it but it could work. I like sphagnum because its sterile and doesn't decay affecting the cuttings
You give me a heart attack every time you use the tiny razor, omg.
its the suspense that keeps people coming back, will this be the video he loses his finger???
Techplant
Find out next time on... Techplant! Airs tomorrow at 9CST!
Same, I've been the recipient if a few mistakes with my double edge safety razor and the blades. Feather brand blades are sharp enough to cut your eyeball if you so much as look at it wrong. Absolutely the greatest for shaving though. 😎
This really made me want a pilea pepperomia! Thinking of buying the newer variety called sugar! Anyone got any experience of that type?
get one! i dont think it will be much diff from the regular one
do you keep the plant to a. keep you busy b. for ocsigen c. all of the above
all of the above! And I really love them!
did you always use grow light for propagation?
I do, because sun cycles are inconsistent between winter and summer
How old do they have to be to cut them? I bought one and it seems to obviously be a babyish and how long until they have like a “wooden” base?
once they hit like 8 inches tall and have a bunch of leaves or old leave node things feel free to chop away
@@TechplantChannel Thanks!
But what happens when you just chop the head off a big plant? Will it grow a few babies or tons?
?? oh and leave the whole bear shaft? maybe! give it a try
Can you do this on a not so old Pilea? Because I fear it will die soon. It's only 3 inch tall from the base of the soil.
ive propagated some really small ones, however i would keep the leaves on it if i were you, give it a better chance since its young
btw....i have seen this leaf propagation videos and i wonder if you can do your magic experiments on pilea leaves.! =)
i tried once and they rooted really well but i gave up on them after a month, ill get it going again
i watched this on my other account before anyone commented so i could have been first but forgot to
dangit!
Babies for dayssssss
it were be cool if you put the link of the last video in the description
dangit, will do! sorry
@@TechplantChannel dont problem :) very nice videos man, plant are so beautiful, see how they work, hos they cure itself, and if a little survive they can re grow again more stronger that before, amazing
gunna do this i have two veryyyyyy sad plants lol
Can you do one with watermelon peperomia? And how to make it bushy
I made a video about watermelon peperomia
Do you usually use life sphagnum moss?
no, it turned green from algae and other moss
That green color is a sign of "the force within" sphagnum moss. 🌌
Hello do pilea give new leaf in winter as fast as in summer
no, because the sun is out less
👍 Sun is less, temps are lower and yhis entirely slows down their whole physiology. That's why it's crucial you water less in winter.
