@@SuchPlants It calmed my nerves after the anxiety attack I had watching you chop it! I imagine had you not made the follow up video I would have wondered for weeks what happened to them so it’s much appreciated 💁🏼♀️
You gave me the confidence to chop my like...2 foot tall wonky AF money tree down and try restart the base and prop the top. Even though mine is tossing out babies, it just grew with a gangster lean and isnt loving life no more. But now, it gets a fresh start! thank you!
I'm so glad you posted this video and the previous one where you chopped it in half. My pilea has turned leggy. This video has given me the confidence to do a proper reset ~ Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your first video and now this follow-up video on chopping your pilea plant in half then showing what to do with the cutting. Watching the video and hearing your play-by-play was very helpful. My pileas have grown so much that they look like 15" palm trees! I've had luck in the past with grafting cuttings from the stem and getting them to root in water then planting them in soil, but I didn't know that I could chop my tall pileas in half. Here I go!
These 2 videos were just what I needed! I have a too tall pilea with no leaves in the middle but the top looks great and I do have babies on the bottom! I will be doing this! I’m glad I found you! Audrey from Michigan 19:41
Hi. Awesome that you now have 2 plants 😊. The cupping and tears on the leaves probably are due to lack of water. Just thought I’d let you know. Mine was doing the same and when I started to add more water it started to look so much better. Notice how your plant in waters is so plump? Thank you for this video 😊
Awesome! Thank you so much for all your tips and help, I have a Pilea which is Beautiful but a bit leggy and also has a top growth similar to yours before you cut it in half, so I will be doing the same, hoping to make a second Beautiful Pilea Peperomioides :) Wish me LUCK!
Hi I wouldn’t remove those pups from main stem but I suppose you could experiment with them….I’d wait until the pups grow in the soil and even then wait until they look like your friends rehab plant before removing them. I purchased one with a ton of babies and chopped up the plants into three pots. I eventually chopped a leggy one off and it immediately popped new plants in the soil. I put my chopped one back into the same pot after it developed roots. It’s doing fine…now the other two plants have long long stems so I’m going to propagate them in water as I did the first time. I’m going with clear plastic pots because I think they like plastic better than terracotta although I like the clay I don’t think it works out for this plant.
Aww it looks so happy! But I can’t help but notice that gorgeous burgundy butterfly looking friend behind it. What is it!? I must know!!!! 😍 I’m new to this plant mom stuff.
@@SuchPlants I chopped them both! I have them both in water under my grow light! I've been looking at them for months thinking how pathetic they look and wondering if I should cut them. You gave me the courage, you're awesome 😊
The mother plants pot was too big, that's why you originally didn't get any pups. It's spending all that time filling the pot with roots instead of pups...once it does that, then you'll see some new babies coming out of the soil. They have super fine roots, so you really don't need a big pot.
Congrats on the new pups. It looks like an alien plant with the huge old leaves hanging😅. Looks like i really hv to chop off mine too. I want the pups like yours, it will be a cute pp tree. Do u add fertilizer in propogation water for the top cutting?
Haha it does look like an alien huh? I have only added the plant tonic to the water when I first did the cutting, and then I only added water whenever it was low. 😅 However, it will surely benefit if you change the water at least once a week.
Hey Ron, thank you for the vid. Bout to go thru this process and was wondering if you could share the ratios you’d recommend for the potting mixture. :)
Hi! I suggest you start with 50% potting soil, 20% worm castings (lots of good nutrients for the Spring if you are in the northern hemisphere), 20% perlite, 5% orchid bark or coco husk, 5% charcoal. You don’t have to be exact, so you can experiment with it and have fun! ☺️
@@SuchPlants It was doing fine without any yellowing last year, but started to have some this year. Probably just leaves get old? 🤣 Overall it's still cute. I love those new babies on your mother plants, so cute! BTW I am going to the botanical garden on the big island tomorrow. So excited! 😆
@@LapineTingTing yes it could be the old leaves just falling off now. As long as you see new growth, it should do fine. OMG you’re already in Hawaii??? Hopefully the weather is okay! I hope you enjoy it! You should bring some snacks or lunch and have it near the ocean side. And bring an umbrella haha
@@SuchPlants Yeah a lot of new growths, but I am also worried the bottom would get too bald. 😂 And yesssss we arrived on the 13th, and stayed in Kona for a few days, then switched to Sea Mountain in Pahala. The weather was perfect when we went to the garden and Akaka falls. No rain at all!!! (We brought our rain jackets and were so prepared to get wet haha) Well it rained a little bit after we finished everything. Perfect timing! And OMG OMG OMG I can't scream OMG enough! The botanical garden was amazing! It's all plant lovers' heaven for sure!!! I just wow wow wow the whole time. 🤣 Thank you so much again! I wouldn't know how amazing it is if it wasn't for your video. 😉
Hi, i think watering once a week is not enough and there are no babies because you repotted the plant into such a deep large pot. Keeping the plant in a smaller pot will result in lots of babies.
Hi! I show some updates in my propagation update video here: ruclips.net/video/_k2pC03psVk/видео.html but I’m thinking of doing an update video of just the Pilea soon. It still generally looks like what you see in that video, so I’m just waiting for more significant growth before doing another update. Thanks for checking in!
Soon as I seen you cut it off I immediately came looking for the follow up 😂
Hopefully you were satisfied? 😂
@@SuchPlants It calmed my nerves after the anxiety attack I had watching you chop it! I imagine had you not made the follow up video I would have wondered for weeks what happened to them so it’s much appreciated 💁🏼♀️
me too! I have to do it to mine, and i was wandering what happened! ^^

THANK YOU!! Really appreciate you showing the mother plant!!!
Appreciate the video. My plant definitely needs a chop and now I feel confident doing so.
They're looking so good Ron! Hope the transplanted babies grow well in their new homes! 🌿💚
Thank you! ☺️ I’m finally a proud Pilea pup dad! 🤓

Thank you so much! I really need to do something like this with mine it has leves only at the top and I hope this gives me two healthy plants

very good video of propagation, im gonna try to do mine. Need the courage!
good afternoon, what great plants. just extraordinary beauty
Now I need to do the same to mine😊. Thanks for the tutorial.

Yay! Good luck!! 🥳
I couldn’t keep this plant alive for nothing. I’m going to try again in the far future lol. Thanks for sharing
Some plants are just divas! Hopefully you get a second chance ☺️

i love a well-dressed plant. good job on picking a circular pot motif that mirrors those ufo leaves!
Haha thanks for noticing that! 😆
Aww it looks so happy!
But I can’t help but notice that gorgeous burgundy butterfly looking friend behind it.
What is it!? I must know!!!! 😍
I’m new to this plant mom stuff.
That gorgeous burgundy butterfly friend is a purple shamrock, or oxalis triangularis 😍 Her “wings” open during the day and close at night!
oh I'm so excited to go ahead and chop my two leggy stalks. gonna go get my scissors right now! thanks so much for this info 🥰
Good luck! 😆

Cute!
I like the look of Pilea a lot, but the bottom leaves of my Pilea droop and turn yellow relatively a lot faster than other plants. 😑
Yeah I can’t say I nailed down the Pilea’s care. I can just hope that it does better this time.
@@SuchPlants It was doing fine without any yellowing last year, but started to have some this year. Probably just leaves get old? 🤣 Overall it's still cute. I love those new babies on your mother plants, so cute!

@@LapineTingTing Yayyy!! 👏🏼👏🏼 I’m SO GLAD you didn’t get rained on! Woo hoo! Plant heaven for sure! 😍
How frequently should I I be changing the water?
For best results, once a week. Or when water is starting to look gross. You just need to make sure there is no bacteria build up which can cause rot.
Hi, i think watering once a week is not enough and there are no babies because you repotted the plant into such a deep large pot. Keeping the plant in a smaller pot will result in lots of babies.
I wonder on these 2 year old videos if Ron ever stops in to read and comment on newer posts. It doesn’t seem like he does😢!
I do 😉
@@SuchPlants oh yay!! I’m so glad to hear from you, thank you! I’ve been following you for some time and really like your content!
@aletaking6363 thank you! I’m slowly working up the courage to jump back into posting videos again 🤓
Any updates on this plant?

@@SuchPlantsI look forward to seeing it =)
new fiend jere maayo sayo host god bless ay
I am assuming you know pups do develop in all of those roots in time! You are a little early, that's all.
Yeah I guess some pileas push pups faster than others! 🐶
