PLANT NERD TIPS: Pilea peperoimiodes are very easy to propagate. You can remove the “pups” that grow around the base of your plant and start new ones.
Your Pilea may need some support as it starts to mature and grow. Stabilize it with a bamboo stake to keep it growing upright and prevent it from falling over.
