Get App The Baby Tears plant is actually called a Pilea Glauca and is native to Brasil. @Aplantlady on

Get App It grows long strands filled with hundreds of tiny leaves that are easy to propagate! @Aplantlady on

Get App To propagate, snip off the ends of strands. Make sure you have at minimum 2 leaves on each strand you snip. 1 @Aplantlady on

Get App Remove the lowest leaves. Be careful not to break your cutting like I did! These plants are very delicate. 2 @Aplantlady on

Get App Put the strands in water and have the lower most set of leaves in the water as well because they begin to grow roots. 3 @Aplantlady on

Get App Roots will usually appear in 1 to 2 weeks. You will see them beginning to grow from under the leaves that were in the water. 4 @Aplantlady on

Get App Let roots grow until they are a few inches long or longer as you wish. I left these roots in water for about 2 months. 5 @Aplantlady on

Get App But once roots are about 2 inches in length they will be okay to be planted. Use a nutrientnrich potting soil to plant. 6 @Aplantlady on

Get App Water the soil when it has almost completely dried out. This works out to about twice a week. The growing roots in a dampish environment to survive. 7 @Aplantlady on

Get App You can test if the roots are set by giving the plant an extremely light/gentle tug. If you are met with any kind of resistance the plant has rooted! 8 @Aplantlady on
