About Pilea serpyllacea 'Globosa'
Pilea plants are native to regions worldwide, and often have succulent, water-storing leaves. A handful of them are grown as houseplants, but the rest of the 600+ species are wild plants. Their name comes from the Latin for 'felt cap' which refers to the unique way that their fruits are protected. Fossils of Pilea species have been found dating back over 5 million years ago!

New String of⦠parent. Tips? Iām getting my first Strings tomorrow from a local who propagated some cuttings ($9 for all three!). Iām getting String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata), String of Frogs (also Peperomia prostrata), and a random Baby Tears (Pilea depressa). Iāve mostly been a flower garden plant parent and specifically focused on native Michigan wildflowers and all type of lilies (Lilium genus). I have tons of knowledge in these areas but not so much houseplant related lol. Iāve done my own research and prep work to get them and get them safely potted but I thought Iād ask for tips and tricks for these plants. I couldnāt pass up the deal to get them so here I am winging it. š Thanks! #StringOfTurtles #StringOfFrogs #pileababytears #Peperomia #Pilea
