Pilea-Baby Tears 4" Pot (Soleirolia soleirolii)

Overview:
The Pilea Baby Tears, also known as Soleirolia soleirolii, is a charming, delicate plant with tiny, lush green leaves that form a dense mat of foliage. Its cascading growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or as a ground cover in terrariums. The small, round leaves create a soft, carpet-like texture that adds a fresh, natural feel to any indoor space. Compact yet full of life, the Baby Tears plant is perfect for small spaces, offering both beauty and low-maintenance care.

Light/Water Requirements:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the tiny leaves.
