Pilea depressa 'Tiny Tears' is a native of Mexico and Brazil.   It is a thin, fast growing vine that will quickly spread to create a nice ground cover of foliage.  It prefers well drained soil and doesn’t require much lighting.  It’s therefore considered a very easy plant to care for.          

USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12

Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant:

Due to its small size, this plant is a great candidate for container gardens and makes for a great ground cover filler.  It looks great in a hanging basket outdoors in shade as long as the temperatures remain above 70 degrees. It’s also easy to prune to keep under control.   

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

This plant is a very popular vivarium plant because of its small size and since it does well in almost all conditions.  It tolerates the high lighting and high moisture of a vivarium and will create a nice thick foliage that can be placed in the front areas of the tank.  This plant is sturdier than you might think, and will stand up to even the chunkiest dart frog.  

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants from Josh's Frogs are treated only with products that are OMRI Listed© for use in organic production. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
