Pilea Peperomioides Mojito #2

The Pilea Peperomioides Mojito is a stunning variety of the common green variation. It's speckled leaves are playful and fun.

The Pilea Peperomioides Mojito requires birght, indirect light. Exposing it to direct light can cause sunburn to the speckles on the leaves. Too little light can cause the variegation to revert. 

Pileas like their top 3-5 centimeters (or 25-30%) of soil to dry out before watering it again. They like their soil to stay moist, but sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots. 

The Pilea Peperomioides Mojito will thrive in normal roomhumidity and roomtemperture. Keep it out of cold drafts and do not place it directly above a heater.

During the growing season (spring and summer) the plant would appreciate to be fed with a (liquid) fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. During the winter dormancy period the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).
