So I found a crazy deal at Publix the other day and had no idea at first. I found a dying Pilea plant (had no idea what it was or anything about it). I also was going to buy another plant that was in a glass vase but it was falling in the shopping cart so I took both plants to the customer service and asked if they would hold them both and see if they could discount the Pilea plant since it was dying and was in the shade. After grabbing all my groceries I went back to customer service to grab my new plants and see what price they decided to discount the plant too if at all any discount! There was a guy there and the lady who I spoke with at first wasn’t there anymore, he said she said that they couldn’t discount it but ended up asking me if 2$ dollars would be okay after I told him I just got a new LED grow light at home and the plant was dying and needed some sun! I looked up the plant a few days later and all the prices are really high at least online I’m seeing 35-60$ prices for them! Great video, I know you said no direct sunlight but is it the same with the LED light?

@AbelS12 3 жыл бұрын

Hello pretty, unfortunately, this type of plant won't be happy if you place it directly into sunlight due to the intensity of the sun's full spectrum which we know provides better quality for your plants. However, LEDs consume less power so you don't have to worry about scorching the leaves. 💚🌱

I had a main plant growing together with 4 pups in the same tera cota pot.I was very pleased with the growth, no leggy stem and rich growth and the pot looked full, the pups are around 6-8cm tall, with the mother plant growing fully straight due to rotation.I dropped the pot today by accident so I chopped off the top of the main plant and put it in water hoping it will root.Do you think I should remove the pups from the pot and repot them separately ? Would that support the rest of the main/mother plant to concentrate on new growth?

@AbelS12 2 жыл бұрын

Hello, absolutely! By all means, you can separate the pups and have them grow faster and bigger. It will definitely root. Water is the fastest way for propagation. If you take the pups out it will not cause anything on the main stem. Forgive me for the late response. 🌱💚

Can you please explain the difference between direct sunlight and a spot with bright light?

@musicismylife3699 3 жыл бұрын

Direct sunlight is literally sunlight coming through the window without any filter or obstacles. If there is nothing between the Sun and your plant, that means your plant is under direct sunlight. Like you are under the sun without any shades. But, a spot with bright light means just brightness that coming through window but it's not direct sunlight. Easily speaking, it's just the brightness of daytime. If you place your plant deep in your house far from the window, it won't get any bright light.

Hello, typically this is normal as long as the leaf is healthy. If in case the plant is by direct sunlight, you might want to try to place it away from it or you can place it with any shield to avoid scorching the leaves. Don't water it often, make sure your soil has good aeration as well. You can also try to fertilizer it with your preferred fertilizer. I hope this works. If not, don't hesitate to contact me. 🙏🏻😉

Hi. Great video. Thanks for explaining it in detail. I have a young plant maybe 7 inches tall all the leaves at the bottom fell or are drooping. I probably have 5 left and new leaves coming out. There is also a baby on the side about 2 inches. The weather in Arizona has been drastic. One day it's warm next it's cold. I've been moving it around to see where it will do better. I have it in my daughter's room about 4 feet from a north facing window. When should I take the baby out?? I have it in potting soil, cactus soil, bark, perlite and mosquito bits cause I dislike gnats. Any suggestions??? My daughter loves her plant and doesn't want it to die so every video she sees she wants us to watch. (Mind you she is 6). Any advice?? Thanks in advance.

@AbelS12 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Michelle, thanks so much for your kind words. And keep your daughter stays like that. She must be a loving kid. For the babies, you can start digging it out and place it right away in the media you are using or you can also place it in the water in the meantime. It seems like the plant is safe where it is. Just please don't overwater it. Let it dry before watering again. You can also feed it with slow-release fertilizer to give you huge leaves. Keep me posted. Thanks so much and Happy New Year

I took over a pilea plant from a friend that is doesn't look healthy. The stems are long but leaves are small. A couple day after I brought it home 2 bottom leaves are turning yellow , a couple other have brown spots and most other leaves are curled. I only water thoroughly every 2 weeks. Yesterday I saw new leaves growing on the top while other issue remain, It's on a window sill facing north (a couple hours of direct sunlight in the morning at most). Do you know what else i can do? I have also added some egg shell as fertilizer. Thanks in advance.

@AbelS12 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, it seems like you are ahead of the game. You can also check your soil, make sure it has good aeration. I use coco coir mixed with perlite and it thrives well in that media. Also, keep on feeding your plant, it will give you huge and bushy leaves. I guess that's all I can add. You are doing a good job in keeping the plant happy.

Hello Paulette, usually, it’ll take some time to see new growth on the leggy part. Unfortunately, you have to wait until it shows new signs of growth. It will branch out. In most cases, it will stay as it is. New growth will push out on the top part until it grows.

@AbelS12 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Nicole, thanks for reaching out. In your case, you might want to check the soil. I've never experienced the leaves have fallen on my pilea. Usually, pilea is not at risk of having root rot. Try these steps: Make sure you have good aeration on your soil. water your plant at least twice a week. Place the plant away from direct sunlight (this can scorch the leaves). You can also feed your plant with a slow-release fertilizer. The stem takes some time to grow. What I did in my pilea, I took the babies out (separated) them every time there's a new growth that is growing. It took me a while to have the stem gets taller. I hope this helps you somehow. If this doesn't work, you can always dig it out from the soil and place it directly in the water. :)

@AbelS12 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Mae, it depends on what media you're using. I use perlite and coco coir. It usually dries up quickly. If you are using soil, make sure you have adequate aeration for the excess water to drain. Twice a week is good enough. ☺️

@AbelS12 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Ria, I'm sorry to hear about your concern. From what I understand it seems that the "light green leaf" tells me the plant got burned from fertilizing. I highly suggest checking the stem and roots of your plant. If you see some root rots, immediately change the media you're using. You can use coco coir as pilea thrives well in it; mix it with perlite or bark for good aeration. If you want the plants to get rooted more, place them in water in the meantime. If you prefer to use a different media, get coco coir to mix it with perlite/bark. Please, refrain from fertilizing and overwatering. You can water your plant twice a week. If the plant is stable after 2weeks or so, then you can use a "slow-release" fertilizer, this one won't make your plant suffer from a burn. You can get the OSMOCOTE FERTILIZER on amazon. I hope this helps. Keep me posted. I'd love to help. 😉🌱

Hi Jacqueline, I'm sorry to hear that. Usually, when the leaves are curving, it's because of overwatering, or something's going on the roots. If that's the case, you have to dig the plant and check the roots. If nothing is happening, you can place the plant INDIRECT sunlight; if the weather is not too cold in your place, fertilize it as well (with your preferred fertilizer). I hope this helps.
