The Moon Valley Pilea  is a delightful indoor plant with deep-textured leaves resembling the moon’s surface. Here’s how to care for it:
  1. Soil: Use a rich, well-draining soil mix. A combination of regular potting soil and succulent soil works well.
  2. Light: Provide moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves. Place it near a window but not directly under the sun.
  3. Watering: Water weekly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Aim for even moisture without overwatering.
  4. Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 68-85°F (20-29°C)1.
  5. Humidity: Aim for humidity above 50%. The Moon Valley Pilea tolerates average home humidity but prefers higher levels.
  6. Fertilization: Fertilize once a month using a water-soluble fertilize1.
Remember, this plant is also known as the “Friendship Plant.” Share cuttings with friends and family to symbolize growing your friendship along with the plant!
