I'm surprised it likes humidity, because it apparently grows in the wild on rocks. It's incredibly easy.

You cave in to the trend! Lol

Nothing to do w/ a trend Mike, I've wanted this plant for YEARS.

If I'd ever seen the Pep botyris in person, which I originally saw w/ this same look, I would have bought that one instead. NOTHING to do w/ trends or the absurd 'Plantfluencers' you mention.

You've always loved your house plants, Karen. Me too. Imagine, I'm 18 years coming here.

I want one!!!

I am as well Marguerite, 2 different names ago, in the Spring of 2001. Astonishing isn't it?!

Do you grow these too? When you made your comment about them being on rocks in the wild, I did a search & it mentioned on MOIST rocks, so I'm keeping them on the pebbles & trying to water a bit more often.

I didn't know abt these Stolon things, can't wait to see what develops there ;>)

One of my sons has two huge plants and gives babies everywhere to friends. These pileas are very obliging and nothing seems to faze them. Good luck with yours, I'm sure they'll do splendidly for you. Interesting about the moist rocks..I'm not sure where you would get that type of environment.

"Origin and Habitat: Native to SW Sichuan and W Yunnan Province of China.
Habitat: Shaded moist rocks in forests; 1500-3000 m."

Thanks again, Karen. :)

It’s a very cute little plant. Glad you found one. I have been growing one for a while too. I killed the first one I bought, but this one is growing well and making babies.

I really want a Peperomia Polybotrya but I have yet to find one. I like the plea too but I feel like I would be compromising if I get one.

Sad to say I no longer have these, think they might have dried out (IIRC), I'm bummed, they were just charming, but not at $10 a pop, At least 'til I learn not to kill them.
