Lucky you :) These are very expensive (and hard) to find!

They are expensive. The nurseries are making a killing. The plant propagates easily and is adorable very small, so they have little time and effort involved. Supply and demand. Has the plant been a fun one for you Kootenay?

It has a delicate and attractive structure and can take neglect. Personality wise, it's a bit aloof and seems to prefer a quiet setting conducive to meditation and reflection.

It's lovely, I've lusted after these for years. May I pls ask where you got it?

Karen sternberg, I was listening to podcast and there is a seller in the us selling for reasonable prices. The website is piep.co (not affiliated in any way) I'm planning on making an order very soon!

Thx Rachel, was going to say maybe come Spring, but I see they're already (or still?) sold out of these -- bummer!

I received this plant from a friend. I see there are seeds being offered on EBay.

It probably needs more light, they're also heavy feeders.

If any of you live in the NY Tri-state area, I was just in my local Adam’s fairarce farms (Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Kingston) and they had dozens of small pileas. They all already had babies and they were only $12.99. I’ve seen them go for triple that much.

Alanna, I picked one up back in the beginning of march before they raised the price. I managed to snag one @ adams for 3.99, I was so excited! I've already cut one baby loose and there are 2 more almost ready to be removed!

I must have missed them in March. I go to Adams once a week to check out what new plants they have. It’s usually the same stuff most weeks, but today was the first tine I ever saw pileas and they had miracle fruit too.

Agree specimen shown looks light deprived - a common fate of house plants.
