Penny with all her pups. I cut them off mother penny and then put honey on the cut part of the pup before planting them onto soil and they have been doing VERY well. Penny also has two more pups growing but they have slowed down since it is winter, I will plant them come spring. #HappyPlants #PropagationStation #Pilea #ChineseMoneyPlant

Am concerned about no drainage holes...

@CutePolypremum I was too but so far they have been doing very well, I let the soil dry between waters and I keep an eye on them. So far no issues. I know they are super prone to root rot so I er on the side of less is more and itβs been working alright for me over these past few months now
@GrandAnchistea so should I cut the pups off the mother #? I have two that has grown I thought it was unique but I noticed my leaves started to fall off on the mother plant
@DrGreen I would, just because they may sap life from the mother plant. Maybe make a post so people that have had the plant a bit longer can answer. But thatβs what I did, I cut right at the base where it connects to the mother and put honey on the pup and just put it in the dirt and it took for me.
@GuruWildpapaya I would recommend it, I love these plants so very much
@GrandAnchistea hi! π do you have any tips on how to get this plant to grow pups? Iβve had mine for several months and no pups yet.
@nellz4estfairyz I honestly donβt, I got my plant and it just started to produce pups for me, I would assume make sure that your plant is getting everything it needs and then in the growing season fertilize it. Other than that Iβm relatively knew to growing pancake plants, but my plant store says mine must be a very happy plant if itβs producing pups.
Maybe if you make a question post some other people will have better tips and or tricks π€πΌ

@GrandAnchistea thank you. Whatever youβre doing youβre doing it right! π
@RadiantGinseng when I was looking into how to cut the pups away from the main plant, I guess it prevents any sort of infection from taking hold on the wounded part of the plant as well as maybe encourages root growth. I used it instead of rooting hormone.
What's the secret here? I unalived one already, the one I have now is small, doesn't really like me much π it has well draining soil, and a grow light, humidifier and I water with rainwater What gives? I'm about to put it in a non draining pot like you did π seriously though, why can't I keep "easy" plants alive?
@PlantBeach honestly I have no idea. I donβt have mine in any direct sunlight, they are in the south window with a filtered light. I know it doesnβt really love direct sunlight, since it naturally grows in shady areas so I keep mine out of direct sunlight. If I had pots with draining they would be in there instead. They are temperamental and prone to root rot. They like it damp but not wet, so I make sure the soil is dry to about an inch between waters and I donβt flood them. And I water with tap water here. Other than that I donβt know why itβs so happy for me, it just is π€£
