About Pilea Green (Creeping Charlie)
Pilea Green, commonly called Creeping Charlie, is a fast-growing trailing houseplant with small, round, scalloped-edged green leaves. Its cascading habit makes it a versatile pick for hanging baskets, shelves, or as ground cover in outdoor beds.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; tolerates partial shade but avoid prolonged direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Soil: Well-draining, rich potting soil with good organic matter.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity; occasional misting helps.
Placement
Great in hanging baskets on a balcony or patio, as a trailing tabletop plant, or as ground cover in shaded garden areas.
Care
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
- Repotting: Repot when it outgrows its container, typically once a year given its fast growth.
- Pruning: Trim back overgrown stems to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Generally considered non-toxic and pet-safe.
