7” Pilea

₹740.00

This native of Yunnan and Sichuan province of China is a species of flowering plants that belong to the Nettle family. This erect, evergreen perennial plant has petite saucer-like leaves that wobble around on long extended stems. In their native wild terrains, a Pilea can be found in damp, rocky environments. A poorly grown Pilea will become leggy and unimpressive, however, by pinching off new growth and encouraging new branches it is possible to create a better looking, more compact plant

Adopting and caring for Pilea

Adopting: It’s easy to fall in love with the dainty leaves of a Pilea. At ePlants, we pick out display-ready plants with mature, well-grown leaves and plants that are petite and rounded.

Locating: Pilea thrive in medium to bright light even though they are known to tolerate artificially lit indoor conditions too. However, exposing these plants to direct sunlight for extended periods can burn or yellow their leaves.

Potting: Pilea do not need any special type of potting soil, and they do well in any well-drained potting soil rich with organic material. Use a mix of coco-peat, compost, sand in 20:60:20 ratio could do them a lot of good.

Watering: Overwatering is the chief cause of disease or death of any plant. While a Pilea needs regular watering, do ensure that you don’t overwater them.

Fertilising: Pilea are perennials, which means if maintained well, a well-grown plant could stay with you for years and years. Feeding them some organic liquid fertiliser a few times a year is the best way to keep them happy. Dilute it in water as described on the pack and add little to each pot as part of your watering routine. If you are using a chemical fertiliser do ensure that you keep it away from the plant and its base.

Pilea are also called Missionary Plant in recognition of a Norwegian missionary who introduced the plant in Europe in the 1940s.

Did you know

Did you know: In China, a Pilea is called a money plant because its leaves resemble coins.

It’s my first purchase from them. My previous experiences of online plant purchase weren’t so pleasant owing to the soil spillage, plants in shock, leaves dying etc. But Eplants completely changed my view of online plant-shopping with their beautiful way of packing and excellent condition of plants. I hope my Pilea makes it and becomes a beautiful plant. Will definitely order more from here.

Your Pilea should do really well once it’s settled down after travelling over 1800 Kms to reach you. Hope to see you again on eplants.in

Looking great.I will recommend buying plants from eplantsAttaching a photo of the plant as I just unpacked it.read more

Immediately after receiving the Alocasia Stingray i felt i have been stung immediately.. Already in love.. Usually i... don't write reviews on the plants that i own.. But this one needed a special mention.. So lets start... 1- packaging - i have purchased so many plants in the recent past but this is my first experience with eplants.in and i feel its the best packaging i have seen till date. 2- small details like a customized letter in the box and the sting on message on the box, found it sort of cool.. 3- and most important - plant and health.. The plant just looks awesome. Actually i had never seen a stingray before.. So it makes me even more excited about owning this baby.. Lastly just want to thank you guys for the awesome experience.. And i hope the stingrays love my small ocean.. ❤️❤️read more

This is the first time I dealt with this nursery. The thing which sets it from other nurseries is the personal touch it... gives. I felt as if I was dealing with a person directly and not virtually through technology. I had very nice and helpful conversation with them through whatsapp.The help with the personal touch extended even after the plant was purchased and dispatched.The plant was healthy, the packaging was excellent to take care of the plant on its one week journey. Overall the experience was very good and I look forward to getting more plants from them.One thing which needs improvement is the nursery pot. It is not matching with the quality of the plant at all, especially when immediate repotting is not suggested.Another thing, the nursery advertises that it sells as it shows, but my plant was much smaller than what was promised.read more
