Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Pilea features a mat of adorable, 1/4″ wide, glossy-green rounded leaves growing on fast-growing, trailing vines. Its a low-grower that can be fit into several different spaces. Excellent for spilling over hanging baskets, as a houseplant on your windowsill, in a fairy garden or in a moist, closed terrarium. Truly a versatile and low maintenance plant! Prefers moderate to bright, indirect light, however may become damaged if it receives too much direct sun exposure. Don’t be afraid to prune Tiny Tears if this bad boy outgrows its space. It won’t mind! Tender.
