Description
Grow indoors in a warm, humid environment in bright indirect light. Avoid full sun. Use a peaty soil-based potting mix. Plants like high humidity, and appreciate humidified rooms or placement on a bed of wet pebbles. Water moderately in the growing season, and reduce watering in fall to late winter. Pinch stem tips as needed to keep plant compact. Easily propagated from stem cuttings, hence the sometimes used common names of friendship plant or panamiga. Native to Central and South America, this species of Pilea is a bushy trailing plant that features clusters of ovate, toothed, textured, dark green leaves (to 3” long) with dark bronze undertones and often light green edges. Leaf undersides are typically dark red. Tiny pink-green flowers in branched cymes in summer. Also makes an excellent terrarium plant. Pilea pubescens liebmannii Silver Cloud. Beautiful bright, completely silver-pink leaves ruffled and serrated; marvelous striking mounds of thick foliage make this the crown jewel of the Pileas. Brightens up any terrarium or fairy garden design.

Such an adorable plant! It’s perfect for my terrarium. It was so well wrapped, they do a fantastic job of packaging plants so they survive shipping. They so kindly included a heat pack, even though I didn’t order one, because the spring temps suddenly and unexpectedly switched back to winter the day it shipped.
