Pilea 'Minima-vireo' care

Among the quieter members of the genus, Pilea 'Minima-vireo' forms a vining spreader and settles quickly indoors.

It does best in medium filtered light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered little and often, keeping the mix barely moist, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at occasional misting in dry rooms; pot it in rich, moisture-retentive mix and refresh the top layer each spring. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
