Pilea 'Minima-viridis' care

Pilea 'Minima-viridis' rewards a patient owner: it grows as an upright clump and asks mostly to be left alone.

Give it bright indirect light; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water when the top third of the mix is dry; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

It is happiest at average room humidity, potted in standard mix cut with a third perlite. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
