Thank you!! This was one of the biggest mistakes I made when becoming a houseplant mom. Now I'm walking around sticking my fingers in their soil and watering. What a world of difference!

Holy moly that’s a very gorgeous pilea. I can’t get mine to look this full. The leaves at the bottom keep dropping off 😭

excellent information!! not only are your videos very informative for people who don't know much about plants like me, but they are also very relaxing. Subbed!

Lots of great tips. I especially liked your idea of fertilizing with every watering as I always forget when I've fertilized my plants.

Great tips, just found your channel. I have two of those plants and they are doing a lot better since I have them in more light. I subbed

Love your channels. Great information ❤️

This video was very helpful I want get a pilea plant soon I love the look of them very unique from other plants.

Thank you so much for this video! You covered everything that has been on my mind! "Over-watering" was a big concern & fertilizing & suddenly having yellow leaves! My plant did have a little growth spurt & wasn't getting enough water. So, thank you! 💚💚💚

Amazing channel 😍😍 thank you for this video 💚💚💚💚

Wow Pilea~So beautiful and one of my favourite💚🍀

This is the best watering advice I've heard.

Gorgeous plants 🌱

Thanks so much! This was awesome, especially since I just bought a pilea a few days ago. I want mine to look like yours, so I will do everything you suggested. ;)

Very helpful video, thanks!

Nice informative video, Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the tip of caring the Pilea plant I just purchased recently and I see yellow leaves. thanks your video

Love your staging cart

Thank you! Especially the overwatering piece.

Great information. Thank you!

Great video, really enjoy learning from you. You spoke about light, just wondering how to do this over winter. Do you put yours under a grow light? Greenhouse? Thanks

Thank you so much for your excellent video.

I subbed. Nice info in this video.

Excellent video with funny ending

Hi you are an inspiration for me to carry on with my plant channel too. Very good sharing . By the by iam ur KZfaq friend, love watching ur videos. Thank you for sharing this video

Thank you for this! My coin plant is massive and I'm making some cuttings for our teen center at the library were I work. Question: could you do a video on potting Tradescantia zebrina / wandering dude cuttings?

Beautiful plant! Never seen that plant before.

Good advice get on a checking schedule

GREAT VIDEO ❣️

Great video

Wow! Love your channel and your tips on the Pilea Peperomoides. I subscribed to your channel and the bell is on! 😊 So, I have one at home n many of the leaves have turned hello and dropped! 🥺 I believe I’ve done all u mentioned including fertilizing but mildly. I decided today to remove all the dirt and plant it in pon soil. Hopefully I did the right thing. Also, the pubs that are growing are not flat but curved. Don’t understand why! 🪴🌱

Thank you for the great pilea care tips! Would you also suggest a growlight in winter? I'm from northern EU and the light is very limited in winter even on the southern windowsill. By any chance you would know how much light to give it under a growlight in FC or LUX as I would not want any curled leaves on my babes. And what does outward dome like curling mean? I've read both - too much and too little light so it is very confusing, I would like my plants to look like yours, with very pretty not curled leaves :)

I love your channel - and I just followed you on Instagram too! You're inspiring! Thanks!

Thank you for this helpful video! How much do you dilute the Dyna-Gro Grow fertilizer by for all of your houseplants?

I am notorious for over watering plants, and killing them. Even knowing to be careful 🙄. BUT the most recent hack that has finally helped me and have stopped killing my plants is to use see through Orchid Pots for ALL my plants. Now I can better tell if my soil is dry, wet, and I know my plant isn't out grown the pot. When it's time to water...I just water from the bottom. I've come to know how much water to add that it will absorb.

Great video! I’ve had my pilea for a couple years now, and the center plant has grown tall, but it droops (not just the leaves, but the whole center stem)! I know I need to find a spot with more light, but do you think I might need to repot as well for better support?

Thanks This has given me confidence to propagate 👍

Nice Video 🌱💚

Hello. Thank you for your video. Just wondering what type of soil to pot these up in.

I really want to see how you repot that giant. They are very delicate. It would be great if you made a video of that process.

Thank you! I got my first pilea peperomioides a few months ago, and it's doing great, but also, I'm only JUST venturing into the world of plants that don't like the neglect that my cacti like. I NEVER stick my fingers into the soil. It's an aversion. That's fine with cacti and other succulents, because I just water when they feel quite light. It occurs to me that I can also do that with plants that like to have more moist soil, but out of habit, I find myself waiting until they're quite light as well. I've only ever lost one plant (an echeveria) to root rot, but it's conditioned me to be overly afraid of it. So, my questions are: What are your thoughts on watering based on weight? I'm familiar with most of my 75 plants' typical freshly watered weights, as well as the needing water weights, which is why this works for me I think, along with them being primarily succulent in nature. I'm not so sure about using this method with other plants My pilea peperomioides uses her water up rather quickly, so is it safe to fully water no matter what amount of time has passed if the pot has returned to it's lighter weight? And finally, when she feels light, but the soil top is not bone dry, is it still safe or even preferable to water this plant again? She's still in her nursery soil until I repot her next month, so I'm not sure of it's composition, but I also realize that it may be peat, so I don't want it to dry out completely and become hydrophobic anyway. These questions will also hopefully help me to be successful with plants that even require more humidity. I recently purchased my first begonia (like 2 days ago), so I'm really hoping to find out if you think my methods are acceptable for even humidity loving plants, or if I need to change up tactics entirely when it comes to them. Thank you advance if you're able to give me some guidance. Also, I'm looking into buying my first cast iron plant after reading the story of your grandma bringing hers from Italy and giving you some of it. I'd never even heard of it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and stories!

0:24 I died there............Your videos are beautiful

I use one of those moisture sensors where you stick the rod into the soil to know how dry it is. The thing I get confused about, though, is whether to water based on the reading at root level, or equivalent to where my finger would be if I stuck that in the soil. I've only recently become better at avoiding root rot, because of the sensor, but I don't want to starve my plants of water, so I'd like to be sure I'm doing it right. Can you offer any advice on this, please? The sensor I've got is split into dry (3 levels) , moist (4 levels), and wet (3 levels). Love your videos btw. I've subscribed 😊

That was very helpful! New subscriber…. Natalie Australia

Ok I have one first time I put it in that east window far from the window but you mentioned fertilize I don’t know what kind you said it just tell us that NPK Number should I use the higher number for N nutrition thank you I enjoy watching your show

Wow ! so big the pilea,,,

Thanks for the informative video! I have been struggling with mine for quite some time. I use a moisture meter for all of my plants and I was watering the pilea when it was in the dry section of the meter (but not when completely bone dry)..But leaves kept slowly declining and getting black spots with a little yellowing. About a year later and the plant is now a fraction of what it was when I bought it. It’s not dead, but it is slowly dwindling down with sickly leaves at the bottom. And there is not much growth happening to compensate for it. What should the soil consist of? The information out there is so inconsistent. I’ve been told to treat it like a succulent because it stores a lot of water in its leaves, but that doesn’t seem to be working 🥵 I have it in a well draining mix of organic potting mix with some peat moss, some cactus/succulent mix and some orchid bark. I’m desperate to make this baby happy

Can you use lechuza pon or similar products as substrate for this? In plastic or terra cotta pot?

Thank you so much for the helpful video. I noticed that a couple of new leaves in my pilea are oddly shaped, not the beautiful round one....also they have brow, rotting spots in between the leaves. I am failing to understand what wrong. I only water when the soil feels dry. It's currently pretty heavy monsoons here in India with humidity level at more than 80% with little to no sunshine. The plant is in a North East facing window where it used to get decent morning lights befor the incessant rains of past 1 week. Can that be the cause? Thank you once again. Am a beginner and would really appreciate some help here 🙂

Thank you

You explained why text book medicine is not also applicable to people who are always changing and growing or our environment is always changing and growing. Changes what we need.

Lol great video with some info for my Chinese money plant but now I gotta rewatch because I lost count on how many times you say RIGHT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

mine has raised round leaves..why ? I prefer flat round ones...yours r great..any tip?

Do you dilute the Dyna Gro Grow or use it according to their package instructions?

Hello,I liked your video on why watering schedules don't always work! I used to water every 2 weeks and some plants struggled. Now I check weekly and water as needed!💚can you tell me if I should wait to water a repotted whale fin I did today. It was unable to produce babies because the pot was too small and the babies were unable to appear above the soil. I chose a bigger pot and found 2 babies upon repotting it. I used orchid bark and cactus soil with perlite. The new soil was fresh and slightly moist. I also sprinkled cinnamon on the roots before repotting. What do you think? You are very knowledgeable! Thankyou 💚

Thanks

Goodness!! The one I bought was in a non draining really big pot and got root rot. I moved it to water, it's done nothing.. idk what to do now

thank you very much for the great info, I do have many more questions, but my main one is on how to fix a very damaged Pilea, I just got a big Pilea just like the one you have, however it has many leaves in very bad shape, they are yellow and brown, (Def dying) when I touched the soil it was soak to the max, so, so far it has been with me for the last 2 weeks and still soil wet, also the leaves have starter to flatten as they were curled up a lot, I am imagining from so much water,, question is how do I fix her or do I get rid of the yellow/brown leaves? cut it ? propagate the babies and try to make a new one ? what can I do with it

Omg that is beautiful but my plant is not very happy inside my house I cannot leave them out because it’s winter n very cold I think that is only good warm country

Sit in same spot, don’t move around & air vacillation are very important too.

Would pilea work with a self watering setup?

Hi, thanks for the video! I have a question - if the leaves are all down and they seem rigid, green, healthy, not yellow, will they recover and be up again? It does not look as a normal shape for its leaves. Thanks :)

That’s how I do it fertilize dilutely every time I water . It really works.

I have the sun in the morning till maybe 1030 11 o’clock is it OK

there is some white spot on bk of the leave is it overwatering? the soil is dry

My question is, Do I stop watering the plant the second the water starts to drain through or should I wait a few and water all around the base again?

Type of soil mixture can I used to repot my plan

I bought two babies 2 months back. They were thriving and I was watering them once in 2 weeks. However, I have started to see the leaves falling off by a touch, stems breaking, and generally less shiny. I haven't fertilized it

What kind of soil or compost your using?

Do you know why my pilea is getting black spots behind the leaves? I have her for 2 years and I just noticed las week, I try to find answers but I can't please help! 😫

What is the difference between pilea and penny wort plant?

@15:43 😆 that scared me! 😆

I had to come here just to say that pilea is incredible. How old is it?

Do you fertilize all year around?

My patho cuttings refuse to root in water; after about 3 or 4 weeks, I put it in soil without roots. New leaves are growing but the entire plants is slightly yellowish green. Why is that?

I'm doing all the things right... but my girl has major cupping (outward and downward) and I haven't been able to figure out why! :(

How do I care for my money tree

I have 3 pots of pilea. Only one pot survive but still not doing well.

❤

Hi. My piles is growing well too but my leaves are cupping down. Would you know why that is happening? And thank you for your video 😊

How get more

Where r u in this earth cuz I wanna see if u r in Canada that’s means I have very strong chance that my pilea will thrive like yours

I'm not a plant owner beginner but with this plant, I feel like I am. So leggy and not thriving.

Does it need to be dry between watering?

I have my pilea for two years now never grow remain small...

Good video, but you have to overcome saying "right" all the time (55 times). RIght? 😬

Pilea not piles 🤦🏻‍♀️

Great information! I enjoy your videos. Please! Stop saying “right” at the end of each sentence 😬
