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).

Pilea (Chinese money plant)

Thanks!

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).

how do you get your nanouk to be so bushy? mine grow like weeds but are frustratingly leggy.

God those little demons. I love my cats but I got a plant for my birthday and they didn't give me 15 min of admiring it without yanking it out of the soil.

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

Usually plants get leggy when they need more light, they’re stretching towards the light

Yep, the center cactus has big pricks. (toothpick cactus from S.Philly Ikea +++ fun plant, highly recommended. )

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.

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.

Answer: 🌵

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

> The people I know don’t want any more of my babies

LOL

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

I had to get rid of my one cactus because my dumb little orange bastard kept trying to eat it and hurting himself.

Valid point. Seriously, cactus can be dangerous.

Look at all those happy plant babies. Where did you get your square planter trio? I have one exactly like it by Bennington pottery works but it’s old and the terra cotta is crumbling. Would love to replace it.

That planter is a crazy story. My neighbors put it in a free box on the sidewalk !!! Thank you Larchwood AV! It's stamped "Bennington Pottery VT", I got really lucky. Square terracotta - I love square pots. These may come up on Ebay, but you will be bidding up against me ; )

Also, I have plastic pot insets. I plan to swap out as needed,only keeping baby cactus in them. I don't think I'd plant directly, even though plants would enjoy.

I'd trade you a Madagascar Jewel baby for a Pilea baby. I'm also in Fairmount.

I'm a lucky guy - none of my three cats are interested in any of the many plants I have.

Free score! Yeah I love the square shapes. I got mine at mostardis in newtown square years ago. Haha. eBay rivals. I’ll have to google around. Mine aren’t even fit for a free bin at this point.
