Love all your videos, Christian. Thanks for posting them. I've had my pilea for about 6mos. When I got it, it only had 4 leaves. Now it has grown lots of leaves and taller but it has no babies! Any idea what I can do to help it produce babies?? Thanks

This is the best plant I ever bought! I bought mine at a discount price because it was the last one left at the store and it hadn't been cared for. It was so wilty and sad. But I revived it like a superhero and it's thriving now! I live in a condo on the north side of the building and lots of trees in front of the windows, so not much light in this place. But my sweet pilea is doing great on the window sill. So whimsical and brings me so much joy :) Thanks for the tips. I'll re-pot soon.
