Is This the Right Plant for You?
The Pilea plant is not only unique in its appearance. Hailing from Himalyan China, this plant is said to have originally been brought to Europe by a Norweigan missionary. Constantly sprouting “pups” (baby plants) from the soil surrounding its main stalk, the Pilea was propagated and passed along from friend to friend. As such, the plant was rarely sold commercially and, for many years, considered a rarity in many places of the Western world.
Difficulty: Plant for beginners
The Pilea Peperomioides requires low maintenance and great for beginners
Water once a week or when the soil has completely dried out
Care Guide
The thick leaves of the Pilea can accumulate dust over time, so don't be afraid to rinse them under the sink when watering, or gently wipe away dust with a wet cloth once every few weeks. This also helps the plant photosynthesize more efficiently.
