Pilea Baby Tears Plant

Growing Environment

• Best Suited for Indoor Growing: Pilea Baby Tears thrive indoors, preferring bright, indirect light and a warm atmosphere.
• Outdoor Option: They can be placed outdoors in shaded areas but should be protected from intense sunlight.

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Pilea Baby Tears prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
• Tip: If you notice the leaves stretching, it may indicate they need more light.

Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry, usually every 1-2 weeks.
• Method: Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot, then discard excess water. Avoid letting the roots sit in water.

Humidity Needs

• Ideal Humidity: These plants enjoy higher humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%.
• Tip: Increase humidity with a humidity tray, pebble tray, or by misting the leaves regularly.

Fertilizing

• Type: Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
• Frequency: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Tip: Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows.

Air Circulation

• Importance: Good air circulation helps prevent mold and promotes healthy growth.
• Tip: Place the plant in a well-ventilated area, but avoid drafts from fans or air conditioners.
