I love the one on the right with the round leaves and long stems... we have one of those on the window sill above our kitchen sink, and I love seeing it everytime I'm in there.

Keep forgetting to ask SO what it is... I'd like to get a few more, or take some cuttings from the one we have (if its the kind of plant where that works).

So they will create sooooo many babies that just pop out of the soil and then you can cut them and put them in water until they grow roots. Just be patient and you will have millions of babies.

Or, stop by Fairmount and I’ll give you some babies in soil, I have so many they’re literally coming out of my ears. I currently have 8 babies recently put in soil, 3 babies in water, and 3 big pileas that have 5 babies each in their pots with them.

Please take some. The people I know don’t want any more of my babies

Haha .. sounds like good growing on your part! I wish I could get mine to take off. Just want to get it through the winter, planning a repot in spring.

Yours looks perfectly fine! And I even spy a wee babe. But yeah it won’t do much over winter.

Pilea or coin plant. I’ve had some success propagating from stem cuttings, but not individual leaves (like a succulent). Once mine got big enough, volunteer plants came up in the same pot, then I lopped off the top (plant got too tall and fell over), sprouted roots in water and then potted.

Sweet, thanks for the info! I'm going to take some cuttings (with her permission, of course, all the houseplants are most definitely hers LOL).

This pilea / coin plant is a real tricky one. It's like a finicky cat, it wants things just right. Bright light and even in-between water w/ food once a month right now.

I have the same kind. It's by a window and all the leaves moved toward the glass to get the sun
