☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Thrives in bright, indirect light but be sure to shield it from harsh direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently lightly moist, but be cautious not to overwater. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering again.
💧️ Temperature
💧️💧️▫️ (Average)
Pilea enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing it near draughty windows or heating sources.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
High humidity conditions mimic its natural habitat. It’s perfect for terrariums or humid rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
💦 Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years or when you see roots coming out of the drainage holes. Use a well-draining soil mix, ideally our Highland Moss premium maranta & calathea or terrarium potting mix, to ensure proper growth.

Great news for pet owners! Silver Sparkles is non-toxic and safe for your furry friends.
