Pilea 'Ember-velutina' care

Pilea 'Ember-velutina' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a vining spreader within its first year.

It does best in morning sun with afternoon shade, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water when the leaves just begin to soften. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Keep it at 55% humidity or higher; pot it in rich, moisture-retentive mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
