Care:
Initial Care (After receiving the plant)
- Leave the plant in it's nursery pot for few days, if the soil is looking dry and leaves are drooping, water a small amount of water, don't overflood it.
Watering
- Allow the soil to dry between waterings, as Pilea do not like soggy soil. Watch the leaves when they start looking droopy, it’s time to water your plant.
Potting Mix
- Any potting media suitable for succulents will do good for these, they do prefer a bit more compost.
Light
- Pilea will do best in a bright, indirect sunny spot in your home. Even though this plant is part of the succulent family, do not place your Pilea in direct sunlight since it will scorch the leaves.
- Pilea can adapt to lower light areas, but the leaves will turn a darker green and the plant will spread out more.
Dont's
-
Don't overwater pileas, their root will rot.
- Don't add too much water-retaining material like coco peat in the soil mix.
