Darker in color than our normal Baby Tears plants, this Pilea Glauca Aquamarine Dark Silver Baby Tears plant has a deep emerald hue. It is easy to grow so ideal if you are new to looking after plants. The low-growing plant is also fast to spread so perfect for ground cover outside or trailing over the sides of a shelf or hanging basket inside.
This tropical perennial originates from the rain forests of South and Central America and has an abundance of tiny leaves. It loves humidity so use our Plant Mister to create a moist environment for it. It thrives best in moist soil, which you need to ensure doesn’t dry out, and the soil should have a neutral to mildly acidic pH.
Your silvery-green Baby Tears plant will grow no more than 6 inches in height but will spread between 9 and 12 inches wide. When growing it alongside other small plants, you may prefer to prune it to keep it from overrunning them.
This exotic plant is perfect for live décor. Watching it grow and seeing the beauty it adds to your work or living space is therapeutic and a good way to reduce stress.

- Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2-inch, 4-inch, or 6" hanging basket planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
