About Baby Tears Plant
Baby Tears (Pilea depressa) is a low, trailing plant with tiny round, coin-like leaves on delicate creeping stems. Its dense, cascading growth makes it a favourite for hanging planters, terrariums, and as a soft ground-cover accent under larger plants.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light but growth slows; avoid direct harsh sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix rich in organic content.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity - benefits from occasional misting or a nearby humidifier, especially indoors.
Placement
Ideal for hanging baskets, terrariums, and tabletop or shelf displays where its trailing stems can cascade freely.
Care
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water when the top layer starts to feel dry.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
- Repotting: Repot yearly, or when trailing stems outgrow the container - fast growth means it fills a pot quickly.
- Pruning: Trim leggy or overgrown stems to keep growth dense and compact.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment.
