Winter transit damage
The plant showed up very quickly and packaged well, however the local weather here was very cold and the plant has significant damage from the cold, hoping it recovers!
Product Description
Though native to tropical America, this pilea produces curiously puckered leaves which in a way resemble the rough surface of the moon. These spectacular leaves are light green when they first emerge, but turn bronze around the main veins as they mature. This relatively small plant will grow 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 cm), and is excellent for a windowsill where the high light will produce the loveliest leaf coloration. Moon Valley Pilea grows well in Medium to high light with a temperature of approximately 65 to 75 F (18 to 24 C) and an average humidity of 25% or more. Can tolerate 50 F (10 C) without damage. Allow the surface of the potting mixture to dry out between waterings. Special Notes: When plant is 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) tall pinch back to encourage new growth and bushiness. Repot annually in well-aerated potting mixture containing 50% or more organic matter.
