☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Pilea Alumni Moon Valley thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight might be too harsh, so a spot that receives filtered light is ideal. This ensures the leaves grow vibrant without getting scorched.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Water your Pilea when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. It’s important not to overwater, as the roots are prone to rot in soggy soil. Ensure your pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

Pilea Alumni Moon Valley prefers average room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid placing your plant near drafts or sources of extreme heat like radiators.

💧 Humidity

💧💧▫️ (Moderate)

This plant enjoys a bit of humidity, making it a good choice for naturally humid areas of your home such as the kitchen or bathroom. However, it can still thrive in less humid environments.

🌱 Repotting

Repot your Pilea every 2 years or when it seems to outgrow its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to encourage healthy growth. This is also a great time to check the health of the roots and trim any that are damaged or rotting.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs, so pet owners can breathe easy with this friendly addition to their home.

🏠 Recommended locations at home

The Pilea Alumni Moon Valley is perfect for shelves and desks where it can get indirect light. Its compact size makes it ideal for spaces like studies or small nooks needing a touch of green.

🌬️ Air Purifying
