Botanical name: Pilea glauca ‘Aquamarine’
Also known as: Aquamarine Pilea, Silver Sparkle Pilea, Grey Baby Tears

The Pilea ‘Aqua Marine’ is a delicate trailing houseplant known for its fine, round leaves that shimmer in soft shades of silvery blue-green. Its cascading growth habit makes it a perfect choice for hanging planters, shelves, or decorative bowls. Tiny leaves cluster densely along slender stems, creating a soft, cloud-like texture that complements any plant collection.

Native to Central and South America, this low-maintenance plant is easy to grow and thrives with regular light and consistent moisture.

☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but avoid harsh direct sun.

💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

🌫️ Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but it thrives with occasional misting or nearby humidity from other plants.

📏 Size: Compact trailing plant, typically 6–10 inches tall with cascading stems up to 12–18 inches long.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ✅ Pet safe (non-toxic to cats and dogs).

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Perfect for hanging pots, plant shelves, or cascading over terracotta planters. Ideal for bright kitchens, bathrooms, or plant walls.

💡 Pro Tip: Pinch back stems to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Great for pairing with other trailing plants or as a soft contrast to bold foliage varieties.
