General Care Instructions:
Light: Pilea does best in a bright, indirect sunny spot in your home. Do not place your Pilea in direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. This plant can adapt to lower light areas, but the leaves will turn a darker green and the plant will spread out more.
Water: Allow the plant to dry out between waterings. Pileas do not enjoy soggy soil. You will likely need to water more frequently in the spring and summer as the plant is growing.
Notes: In order to prevent your Pilea from growing lopsided, rotate it at least 2-3 times a week since it grows towards the sun.
