Repotting my pilea \& I found these pink things! Are they roots?? I’ve never seen anything like this. Or maybe new stems??

Might be stems looking for a way out of the pot! I haven’t had a pilea, but I’ve had potted mint plants send runners out of the drainage holes

Now that it’s in a slightly bigger pot I’m hoping it gives it more room to grow but I was really debating cutting them off

They’re the beginnings of pups! My pilea always has a ton. They’re so cute when they come up out of the soil

#### Lili respondió el 2024-03-02

Thank you! I can’t wait to see what that looks like 🤩🌱

Here’s one of mine. There are 6 or 7 babies in the bottom of the pot

Omg! Tiny plants are so cute 😭

Yup those are runners!! (Starts to pups!) I would suggest if you can positioning them in a way that they can break the top surface of the soil as they continue to grow. They won’t successfully become pups if the majority stays in the soil:)

Thank you! 🌱✨
