Houseplant of the Week: Pilea Moon Valley

Posted on by

Pilea Mollis is better known as Pilea Moon Valley, a name inspired by the deep dimples in its leaves that look like craters on the moon. It’s bushy leaves only grow a few inches and the plant remains relatively small, making it perfect for window sills.

Caring for your Moon Valley:

  • This plant likes bright, direct light and will tolerate medium light, but no direct sunlight, please.
  • Water up to two times a week, keeping the soil evenly moist.
  • This plant prefers high humidity, so consider a location where it will get lots of moisture (like a bathroom) or use a pebble tray or humidifier to keep it happy.
