Chocolate Pilea in Oval Cement

LIGHT: Your Pilea prefers bright to medium indirect light. It can tolerate low light, but it may become leggy and lose its vibrant color. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

WATER: Water when 25-50% of the soil volume is dry. Water slowly, allowing it to soak into the soil until it drips out of the drainage hole. Discard any excess water that accumulates in the saucer.

HUMIDITY: Your Pilea prefers higher than average household humidity. Add a pebble tray, group plants to create a humid microclimate, or place a humidifier nearby.

TEMPERATURE: This plant prefers temperatures between 60-80°F. Keep it away from drafty windows and air vents.

FOOD: Feed once per month in the spring and summer with an all-purpose fertilizer for indoor plants. Do not apply fertilizer to dry soil.

TOXICITY: This plant is considered non-toxic and pet-friendly.

ADDITIONAL CARE: Pilea plants benefit from an occasional trim, which will encourage them to stay full and bushy. Cuttings can easily be rooted in moist soil to grow your collection or share with friends. If you notice the coloration becoming dull, try moving the plant to a spot with brighter, indirect light.
