Pilea
Lighting:
Pilea prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight in the morning or evening, but direct sunlight during the middle of the day can scorch its leaves. If the plant is not receiving enough light, its leaves may start to droop or lose their variegation. If the plant is receiving too much light, its leaves may start to turn brown or yellow and the plant may appear to be burned
Watering:
Water your Pilea when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away from the pot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Pilea is considered to be a pet-friendly plant. According to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), Pilea Glauca is non-toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets. This means that if your pets accidentally ingest a small amount of the plant, it is unlikely to cause any harm or toxicity.
However, while Pilea is not toxic, it's still important to keep pets from ingesting too much of the plant.
