Plant Care:

• Watering: Prefers to be kept moderately moist. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth slows.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid harsh, midday rays that can scorch the leaves. Ideal for bright indoor spaces or near windows with filtered light.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining potting soil. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand ensures proper drainage and promotes healthy root growth.
• Temperature: Enjoys temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) and avoid cold drafts.
• Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity levels. No special humidity requirements but appreciates occasional misting or higher humidity conditions.
• Maintenance: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.

Tip: Pilea Peperomioides is known for producing offshoots or “pups” that can be easily propagated. Share the plant’s good fortune with friends and family by growing new plants from these offsets.
