I agree with Tiffany. It’s a beautiful cutting! And a highly sought after plant!

I agree! Mine started having babies just recently. The first of October I transplanted it out from a 5:1:1 mix that was impossibly dry, into a larger pot and regular old MG potting soil. Since then its been putting out at least 2 new leaves a week, plus the babies.ill post a picture tomorrow!

I have never found one for sale. I don't even know their culture yet. Adorable in every way though. Nice Marcy, I will be watching for them. How long have you had the plant?

I got it late last spring/early summer. It was in a peaty mix that was either too wet or too dry on a daily basis. I had made a batch of the 5:1:1 mix so I transplanted it into that in later June and had to water it every other day or it would look limp and wilted. I had it against the wall on the east facing screen porch so it wasn't in sun, just didn't like the mix it was in. Before I brought the hoyas and other plants in for the winter I transplanted the pepperomia into regular yellow bag MG soil and it's been nearly busting with new growth, since. See the new leaf in the center of the main plant? There's another one forming, too.

Oh I do see the babies It will be so fun to see how it looks in a few more months. Nice growing. I love this little thing.

It's actually sprouted two more babies since I took this picture! Let me see if I can get a clear picture of them.

It looks like it's as fun to grow as it is cute. Is it easy going too?

Laurie, it's been a surprising and fun plant to grow! In fact, I need to post another picture because this morning I can see tiny leaves growing on the stem base of the mother plant! Like it's growing babies on the bare stem. I'll try to zoom in and get a shot when we get finished with our Thanksgiving festivities!

Laurie, check my recent post on the forum if you’re interested in getting one!

Also, Marcy, your plant is looking great! I have two large ones. One in 5:1:1 that’s my mama plant, one that I got when it was a teenager from someone that’s in miracle gro and I have recently harvested 5 (and given away 2) from the mama plant that are in 5:1:1 also. So far I haven’t had any problems with either. The mama continues to produce a lot of babies and they do grow in the soil and also on old leaf nodes like your recent picture! It’s a really fun plant!

Thanks Cassandra! I haven't dug into the pot to check, but I'm assuming that they're sprouts from the main plant with their own root system?? Is that a correct assumption? I have a niece that really wants one and I'd like to get her a start going for a little surprise. Just dig down and cut a plantlet off?

Yes, they are just off shoots. Just dig under one of the babies an inch or so and with a sharp knife slice it off. That shoot under the soil will then continue to grow out and make another plant again. I have a friend who just pinched them off too. So it’s a pretty resilient plant that’s very forgiving. None of the ones I have cut off have even had their own root system, but they root very easily in soil. Water too. I just plopped my cuttings in to soil and threw a sandwich bag with some holes in it to increase the humidity and they all rooted in a week or so. That being said, the weather was warmer so that timing might be doubled. Good luck!

Thanks a bunch!!!! I should have a couple ready for my niece by Christmas!

I am on the hunt for one, thanks to all the info. Thank you.

Laurie, if my rooting attempt is successful, I'll try to get you a start if you want.

Pilea looks great! Can't wait to see how the babies grow.

Oh wow, I will do an inventory and see if I have something you're looking for too. I would really love that. I will certainly pay.

I meant to mention Marcy, I think I love that kitchen!

How cute! Commenting so I can keep tabs on this thread. What zone are you, Marcy? I've been keeping an eye out for one—not easy to find, though I doubt I have the bandwidth to care for a new plant right now!

Looks like I just adore anything with the silver dollar shaped foliage...not only pilea peperomioides (common nicknames might be pancake plant & Chinese money plant?), but also the xerosicyos danguyi (silver dollar plant), and of course...silver dollar eucalyptus :)

Laurie, it looks like between Marcy and I we have you covered!

Joy, I have the same problem, I also appreciate a good round leaf. Haha. I have a xerosicyos danguyi, a Hoya obovata, a beefsteak begonia, a Peperomia argyreia, and I’ve been on the hunt for a dischidia nummalaria. I also would really like a begonia conchifolia. The Peperomia polybotra that I was talking to Karen about is also on my list. All really nice round leaves if you’re looking in to it!

Totally going to look them all up now.

The dischidia nummalaria is adorable! This photo I saw made me chuckle:

jo y b I'm in zone 6b. I have one other peperomia, an incaca, aka felted peperomia. Here's a picture of that one. It's grown a ton and really needs a new pot but I've been so busy painting and preparing for new flooring that I've put it off!

Laurie, we'll plan on spring!

oh wow. If you can remember when the time comes, I will certainly get whatever I have or need to buy to repay you.
