It looks brilliant, bringing a weird and wonderful architectural vibe to any shelf. But the best thing about this little guy is that it loves to reproduce. A happy Pilea will constantly sprout tiny baby plants (or \"pups\") from the soil around its base, which you can easily snip off to grow new plants for your friends. Or you can just hoard them all and build a Pilea empire in your flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow to keep it happy:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright, indirect light is perfect. Direct sun will scorch those perfect round leaves. This plant also aggressively reaches for the sun, so you will need to rotate the pot a quarter turn every week if you want it to grow straight up instead of leaning heavily to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWater:\u003c\/b\u003e Let the top half of the soil dry out completely before you water it again. It has slightly succulent-like leaves that hold moisture, so it prefers to be slightly underwatered rather than sitting in a soggy pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFeed:\u003c\/b\u003e A standard dose of liquid fertiliser once a month during spring and summer will keep it popping out those little baby plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTroubleshooting:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLeaves curling or doming?\u003c\/b\u003e If the leaves are curling inwards like a cup, it is usually trying to protect itself from too much direct sun or heat. If they are doming outwards, it might be begging for a bit more light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLosing lower leaves?\u003c\/b\u003e Do not panic if the odd leaf at the very bottom goes yellow and drops off. That is just the natural ageing process as the main stem grows taller. If lots of them are going yellow and mushy at once, you are overwatering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePet Safety:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"14\"\u003e100% Pet Safe.\u003c\/b\u003e You can completely relax!
