Pilea mollis ‘Moon Valley’ – 6cm

Pilea mollis ‘Moon Valley’ produces deeply quilted, textured leaves with raised ridges and sunken valleys between the veins, creating a crater-like pattern that gives the plant its name. The colour is a bright chartreuse green across the ridges, with deep bronze-brown settling into the valleys between. It stays compact and bushy, forming a dense, low mound of foliage that works well on a desk, windowsill, or grouped with other small tropicals.

Origins
Pilea mollis is native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, where it grows as a low, spreading ground-cover plant in warm, humid, shaded conditions.

Soil and Substrate
