Pilea microphylla variegated is a most unusual plant with very tiny leaves that are green and white with a hint of pink. Growing in a mounding habit, it is great for the house, patio, or garden. Adapts to most light conditions and always in color....Looks like it has just has a dusting of snow. We grow and ship in 4" Pots

Tiny rounded leaves of white, pink and green variegation on borne on succulent stems. Much more compact than the common Artillery Fern making it an excellent choice for terrariums and windowsills.
