Pilea 'Baby Tears'

Description:
Pilea 'Baby Tears' is a delicate and charming plant known for its tiny, round green leaves that create a lush, trailing carpet of foliage. This fast-growing plant is perfect for hanging baskets, terrariums, or as a ground cover in mixed planters. Despite its delicate appearance, it is surprisingly easy to care for and thrives with just a little attention. It's soft, cascading foliage brings a refreshing, natural touch to any indoor space, making it a delightful choice for plant lovers of all levels.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring excess water drains away to prevent root rot. Avoid letting the soil completely dry out, as the plant prefers consistent moisture.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when growth slows. Over-fertilization can lead to leggy growth, so use sparingly.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight may scorch its delicate leaves, while insufficient light can cause sparse growth. If grown in lower light, supplement with a grow light for optimal fullness.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes to prevent stress.

Humidity:
Loves high humidity levels. If the air is dry, mist occasionally, place near a humidity tray, or use a humidifier to keep its foliage looking lush and healthy.
