Plant Care Guide for Pilea Peperomioides 《鏡面草》15cm
-
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves. If grown in low light, it may become leggy and not produce as many leaves.
-
Soil
Use a well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. A cactus or succulent mix is a good option, or you can add perlite to regular potting soil to improve drainage.
-
Water Requirement
Keep the soil moderately moist and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
-
Temperature
It thrives in temperatures between 16–24°C and should be kept in a warm spot, away from cold drafts.
-
Humidity
Prefers moderate humidity levels, around 40-60%. It can tolerate average indoor humidity, but it thrives in a slightly more humid environment.
-
Fertilizer
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer or liquid fertilizer designed for houseplants.
-
Caution
Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance. Prune long or leggy stems to encourage branching and control its size. Maintain good airflow around the plant and avoid overcrowding, which can help prevent fungal infections.
