Plant Care Tips: The Pilea 'Greysy'
The Pilea ‘Greysy’ comes from the tropical Americas so it likes a bright spot. It can withstand some direct sun but not in the height of summer. During winter, water it with rain or distilled water if the top 1-inch of soil is dry. In spring and summer, keep the soil moist but never let it sit in water.
The Pilea 'Greysy' Story
This adorable plant will occasionally produce small subtle flowers, and when watered they occasionally burst open and shoot pollen into the air! Because of this, it has received the nickname of Grey Artillery Plant.
Where is it from?
Not much is known about its ancestry but it is thought to originate between Central and South America.
Who is the Pilea 'Greysy'?
An evergreen plant from the Urticaceae family, the Pilea Greysy is also known as Pilea Silver Sparkle, Grey Baby Tears, Red-stemmed Pilea and Grey Artillery Plant.

Is The Pilea 'Greysy' The Right Plant For Me?
Because they are tolerant of lower light levels and don’t need too much watering, they are generally quite easy to grow, even for those without a natural green thumb. And if you are looking for something that doesn’t take a lot of space, your search is over!
How tall does it grow? As a trailing plant, it doesn’t grow much more than 7 cm in height.
Fact: I could be popped in a terrarium if it was one with a drainage system, as I'm pretty non fussy and will spread well in an enclosed vessel.

Pilea 'Greysy' Care Guide
Light
I prefer bright, indirect light, but never in full sun as my leaves may get scorched.
Water
Keep my soil slightly moist while I am actively growing. In Winter, when growth slows, wait for the top two inches to dry before watering.
Temperature
Keep me warm; no lower than 14 degrees please.
Feeding
Feed me monthly in the spring and summer using a half-strength solution of a liquid houseplant type.
Grooming
I don't need much grooming but if a stem is suffering, you may want to help me along by cutting it back. Watch closely for spider mites and wipe them away with a damp cloth if you see any.
Care
I like humidity so please occasionally spray me with water.
