Pilea peperomiodes 'Mojito'
Pilea peperomiodes 'Mojito' Much loved around the world, this interesting easily grown house plants is quite different. The spherical leaves are fleshy and form neat rosettes giving a very pleasing look. As the plant ages the leaves stackon top of each other and this gives rise to the common name. It was originally believed to bring good luck, money and fortune to its owner. Best out of direct sunshine which often burns the leaves, but bright light is perfect. Water thoroughly when dry but neither underwater or overwater, both are not good. Offsets are freely produced and can be detatched and grown on to give more plants. This is an attractive and quite rare variegated version.
