As with most plants found beneath the rainforest canopy, sheltered from the blazing sun, this plant enjoys bright but indirect light.
It can tolerate a couple of hours of direct sunlight, but be careful it doesn’t get any more.
Pilea is a water-loving species and doesn’t like to dry out. Regular, even moisture is the way to go.
The best way to know it’s time to water is by checking the soil with your finger. The very top should be dry, but beneath the surface, you should still be able to feel a little moisture.
Native to the rainforest floor, this plant stays gorgeously compact as it grows. The leaves don’t get any larger; it doesn’t grow tall but remains low.
If it does get a little bushier than you’d like, trim as you deem appropriate. You can always use them for stem cuttings.
