Light
Light
Rather, the plant likes a shadier location with diffused sunlight. Can't stand direct sun. The more indirect light the Pilea has, the stronger and larger its leaves will be. In winter, we can place the plant on a south-facing window.
Watering
Watering
We water roughly once or twice a week, but always when the substrate is dry. We check its moisture with a finger.
Humidity
Humidity
Prefers higher air humidity. You can dew, but only when the sun is not shining on the plant.
Propagation
Propagation
The best method of propagation is to separate a small plant growing from the underground rhizomes of a large Pilea. If the shoot has few roots, let it take root in water for a while before transplanting it into the soil.
