Day 93 – PILEA

This is probably my favorite plant. I bought a Pilea plant at Home Depot maybe 5 years ago. It sprouted little babies and I would cut them out, root them in tiny vases of water and replant them in soil. I have probably propagated over 80 plants so far and the “mother plant” is still around. Some are tall with sparse leaves as they are in an area of the house with less sun. Others are bushy and over 18 inches tall with stakes to support their weight. I’ve given them to neighbors, friends, family and even the school PTA who gifted them to teachers.
