Pilea hitchcockii - Dark Mystery plant
A cute little stunner! With its silvery patterned leaves and compact growth, Pilea Hitchcock is the perfect addition to your plant collection. Easy to care for and super unique—what’s not to love?
Plant Care
Light: Bright, indirect light is its jam! It can handle some gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh afternoon rays that could crisp its delicate leaves.
Watering: Pilea hitchcockii likes lightly moist soil but hates soggy feet. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and always use a pot with good drainage.
Temperature: 18-25°C is the sweet spot. It doesn’t love the cold, so keep it away from drafts or temps below 12°C.
Potting: A light, well-draining mix is ideal—our Sandy Loam mix would be a perfect choice. Repot when it outgrows its home, but these guys like being a bit snug.
Hot Tips: This cutie loves humidity, making it an excellent choice for your terrariums.
Pet Friendly: Great news—this plant is safe for your furry friends! But it’s still best to keep it out of nibbling reach to avoid any accidents.
