# So I have this Pilea, my pride and joy and like we all know they…

_Posted by Sarah on 2024-04-26_

So I have this Pilea, my pride and joy and like we all know they produce pups like no tomorrow lol. I’m not sure what to do with mine, do I prop or leave alone? I already have 4 that I’ve potted and I don’t have much space for anymore. Nor do I have tonnes of friends who want one 🤣 any tips welcome!

You can try and sell them or give them away on facebook marketplace depending on where you are, there could be people that would love them.

Unfortunately I don’t have Facebook, not a fan. I’m happy to give them away but I don’t know enough people 🤣

If you live on a street with a good amount of foot traffic, you could put them out near the sidewalk with a free sign (and maybe the name of the plant for people who are not familiar with it).

Aww how cute! I would live to have one! Such a sweet gesture tho!! Try selling the pups on Etsy!

### MichiBes commented on 2024-04-27

I’ll take one! Lol

I can absolutely relate to this! Honestly, I leave a lot of mine in and just let them grow, and sometimes, if it feels way too crowded, I’ll go ahead and prune them away and say goodbye to them. 😇
