I love your pileas, I've fancied one for a little while now, but have not seen one for sale yet, I keep hoping to stumble across one (you know on a little table outside someone's door). Not sure I'll make it to the pop-up, though it does sounds rather good. Do you propagate them yourself?
Hello Polly, I do propagate most of them but I do sometimes stumble across them as well, at car boot sales and the like - I do go to a lot of car boot slaes mind. You should come to the pop-up! A perfect day out, and you can get a Vietnamese on the Kingsland Road before you head home.

Hello Lisa, they are stroppy plants at times, they get upset and crinkle or droop but they're tricky to kill. I keep mine quite dry then stand them in water for 5 minutes every two weeks or so. They also don't like direct sunlight, good on a shelf but not a windowsill so much. Good luck!

Hello Jo, I was wondering how you take care of your pileas? I have a tiny one and it keeps getting brown leaves. Any good advice? Thanks!
