Pilea Peperomiodes $18

Pilea need a well-draining potting soil, and a pot with drainage holes is really important. The soil needs to mostly dry out between waterings, with more watering required in warmer, hotter weather. If the leaves start to look droopy, that's a sign that the plant needs water.

Pilea peperomioides is a low maintenance species that thrives in a bright spot near a window, but it is best to keep the plant out of direct sunlight as too much direct sun can cause the leaves to burn. However, too little light can cause the leaves to fade and the plant's overall health to suffer, so take time to find a spot that's just right.
