The Moon Valley friendship plant (Pilea involucrata ‘Moon Valley’) is a beautiful tropical houseplant known for its unique, textured foliage.

Bright, indirect light is best. This plant thrives in filtered light, similar to its native rainforest floor habitat.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. An east or north-facing window is often ideal. If you have a south or west-facing window, place the plant a few feet back or use a sheer curtain to diffuse the light.
Low-light tolerance. While it can survive in lower light, its foliage may become less vibrant and the stems may become leggy.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. The key is to find a balance.
Check the soil before watering. Water the plant when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch.
Ensure proper drainage. The pot must have drainage holes to prevent the roots from sitting in water, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in the winter. During the cooler months, the plant’s growth slows down, so it requires less water.

High humidity is crucial. As a tropical plant, it thrives in environments with high humidity (around 50-70% or higher).
How to increase humidity:
- Place the plant on a pebble tray filled with water.
- Use a humidifier nearby.
- Group it with other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
- Avoid misting the leaves, as it can cause water spots.
Maintain a warm temperature. The ideal temperature range is between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Use a well-draining, rich potting mix. A mix with good organic matter is best.
A mix designed for African violets can work well as it retains moisture while providing adequate drainage. You can also create your own mix with a combination of peat moss or coco coir, and perlite to improve aeration.

Fertilize during the growing season. From spring through summer, feed your plant with a balanced, liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Do not fertilize in fall and winter. The plant’s growth is dormant during this time and does not need extra nutrients.

Prune to maintain a bushy shape. Pinch or trim back any leggy stems to encourage new, compact growth.
Propagation is easy. You can propagate the plant from stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or moist soil, and they should root in a few weeks.

Yellowing leaves: This is often a sign of overwatering. Check the soil moisture and ensure the pot has good drainage.
Brown, crispy leaves: This can indicate the plant is getting too much direct sunlight or not enough humidity.
Pests: The plant is generally pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids.
