Don’t let the name fool you – Pilea Depressa might be called the “Baby tears” plant, but you will have nothing to cry about with this beauty.
Alex, our houseplant guru here at Warner’s, is a big fan. She says, “This plant will spice up your room with its bright green color.”
Pilea Depressa has small thick leaves. It’s a nice and easy-to-keep plant that looks very pretty in a hanging pot, because the stalks with leaves will hang down. But it also does well in a terrarium, where it can be a decorative climbing plant.
Pilea Depressa likes medium to high light, but no direct light, which will burn the leaves and turn your bright green plant brown.
Allow your plant to dry out between waterings, and don’t let water stand in the saucer underneath the plant.
