Pilea Depressa Sao Paulo

(1 customer review)

£8.00

Characteristics

The Pilea depressa ‘Sao Paulo’ is a delightful, pet friendly, compact plant perfect for creating lush, green displays in terrariums and vivariums. Its small, rounded leaves form a dense, cascading mat that adds a soft, natural look to enclosed environments.

This plant is similar in style to the Ficus pumila quercifolia—often called Oak Leaf or Frog Ficus—bringing a unique texture and vibrant greenery. Beyond its decorative appeal, the ‘Sao Paulo’ Pilea also has air-purifying qualities, making it a practical and beautiful addition to any indoor green space. Thriving in bright, indirect light, it’s a versatile choice for plant lovers.

Description

Pilea depressa is not only visually stunning, it is also incredibly easy to care for. Water when the soil dries out and provide higher humidity, the plant will thrive in the bathroom or kitchen!

  • Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.
  • Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.
  • Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.
  • Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.
  • Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.
  • Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.
  • Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.
  • Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
    Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.
