Propagating Creeping Charlie (Pilea nummulariifolia) from Cuttings

Creeping Charlie is among the easiest houseplants to propagate—a fitting tribute to a grandmother's plant.

Simple Propagation Steps

1. Take 4–6 inch stem cuttings with 4–6 leaves.
2. Cut just above a leaf node.
3. Remove bottom 2–3 leaves, leaving top 2–3.
4. Place cut end in water or directly into moist potting soil.
5. Roots appear quickly—often within days.

Care for Established & New Plants

• Light: Bright indirect light.
• Water: Allow top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings.
• Potting: Plant 4–6 rooted cuttings together for a full specimen.

Even a single leaf node can root. This plant's vigor makes propagation nearly foolproof.
