In addition, this plant is pet-friendly and non-toxic-- which is great for homes with pets or kids.
The “Baby Tears” plant features a waxy leaf version of the Pilea variety of plants, and what makes it more unique is its slight scalloping on the edges. It is an excellent plant that has accelerated growth, filling every gap in your garden.
