LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Pilea will do best in a bright, indirect sunny spot in your home.
• Even though this plant is part of the succulent family, do not place your Pilea in direct sunlight since it will scorch the leaves.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Allow the soil to dry between waterings, as Pilea does not like soggy soil.
• Watch the leaves—when they start looking a tad droopy, it’s time to water your plant.
