Pilea Peperomioides

Project Year: 2018
Project Cost: Less than EUR 1,000
This baby Pilea is about six months old and the perfect size to use as a decoration in this glass vase on driftwood that we made. It'll continue to grow and root in the water, so you can put it back in soil anytime you want. Credits: instagram.com/houtje.touwtje

We moved these four Pileas to a bigger pot when they were still young, about three years ago. The bigger the pot, the more space they have to grow and the bigger the plant will become. Credits: instagram.com/houtje.touwtje
Our grown up Pilea Peperomioides
We'd love to propagate our Pilea plants. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Therefore we also like to create different products to show the (growth of) the babies. This propagation station we built from wood we found on the street. Credits: instagram.com/houtje.touwtje

Pilea Peperomioides Babies
The simplicity of the white pots on a white background in our living room emphasises the beautiful dark green colours of our plants. We buil this vertical garden ourselves with upcycled wood. The pots are all different because we'd love to go thrift-shopping for pots for our collection of 100+...
White pots and Pilea Peperomioides
This is the craziest Pilea of our collection. It's about four years old and one of the oldest we have. We call it our Godmother Pilea, because it keeps on giving new babies and keeps growing. The secret? It was never repotted, it sits in a window on the east side of the house, so only get's a...
