LIGHT
Pilea Peperomioides Thrives in bright direct light, but can tolerate bright to medium indirect light.
SOIL
This plant can well with ordinary potting soil if it is not over-watered, but prefers a soil that drains well.
WATER
Water it moderately, but do not overwater it. The Pilea likes to dry out in-between waterings and doesn’t like to stay soggy.
TEMPERATURES
Any of the species of the pilea plant will thrive at temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, but will also do fine in warmer temperatures. However, below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the leaves may become discolored or damaged.
PLANT FOOD
The plant doesn't require much, if any, feeding. At most, use a water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength, applied bimonthly. More aggressive feeding can cause the plant's leaves to lose their variegation.
ADDITIONAL CARE
It helps to dust off the leaves every once and while so it gets pure sun!
