Also known as Artillery Fern, Pilea microphylla features eye-catching foliage held on a compact plant. Its tiny, rounded leaves emerge white. Later, they change to a mix of white, pink, and green. The colors intensify in bright light. Stems are light green. The plant is not related to ferns, despite its common name. You can expect a fern-like appearance though, with its multitude of petite leaves on short, arching stems. This is a colorful addition to any hanging basket, green roof, terrarium, or ground cover display. It grows just 4-6" tall, so it works particularly well as a "tree" in the fairy garden or miniature garden. Please wait to order Pilea microphylla if temperatures have reached 90° F or more in your state. These plants are sensitive to overheating and might not arrive in good condition. Thank you.

| Product Care Instructions | This plant prefers moist to well-drained soil. While it can tolerate some dryness, you will want to water it frequently. In a terrarium, misting will provide most of the moisture and all of the humidity this plant needs. This plant loves the terrarium because it craves warmth. But it also does well when planted in other containers or in the garden. It needs bright light, so find a spot where it will enjoy sunlit mornings and slightly shaded afternoons. |
