Glauca Baby Tears Pilea, 2.5" Pot
Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain healthy growth and vibrant leaf colour. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may become less compact and grow more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
Water Requirements
Keep the soil lightly moist but avoid allowing it to become waterlogged. Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry, then allow excess moisture to drain away. Use a well-draining potting mix to help prevent root rot.
Toxicity
Generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. However, ingestion of plant material may cause mild stomach upset. Keep out of reach of pets and small children.
