Pilea have around 600 to 715 species and it is the largest genus in the plant family Urticaceae. It is distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics, and also in warm temperate regions.
The majority of species are succulent herbs or shrubs that are fond of shady environments. It is a houseplant very easy to grow and it offers unique leaves that are often variegated or highly textured, and that makes it stand out between other plants that you might have on your collection. Pilea give a wonderful special touch to other indoor plants, but it also makes a great centerpiece by itself, especially if grown in a dark or even metallic container. Its small size makes Pilea a great choice for terrariums.
For best results, grow Pilea in an area with medium light. However, this small and easy-care houseplant can thrive in brightly lit situations and it can tolerate low light, too. Pilea are a wonderfully versatile plant. Water the plant enough to let the top inch of the soil dry between the watering. Like most of the houseplants, it is better to keep the Pilea a bit too dry than a too wet. The plant appreciates relative humidity. You can group it along with other houseplants and that will increase the amount of moisture in the air.
