The plant you’re asking about can be either Pilea depressa or Soleirolia soleirolii, as both are commonly called Baby Tears Plant. They have slightly different care needs, so let’s break it down for each:
Pilea Depressa, Baby Tears Plant, Soleirolia Soleirolii – Plant Care
This variety has very tiny, delicate, and closely packed leaves, giving it a moss-like appearance.
Light:
- Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to dry out and turn brown.
Water:
- Requires consistently moist soil and does not tolerate drying out.
- Water regularly, possibly every few days, to maintain even moisture.
- Bottom watering is recommended to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to rot. Place the pot in a saucer of water and allow it to soak up moisture for about 15 minutes, then drain any excess.
- Reduce watering slightly in the winter.
Soil:
- Use a moisture-retentive but well-draining potting mix, such as one suitable for African Violets.
Humidity:
- Thrives in high humidity.
- Misting regularly or placing the pot on a pebble tray is beneficial.
Temperature:
- Prefers cool to average room temperatures between 16-24°C (60-75°F).
- Avoid extreme temperatures and drafts.
Fertilizer:
- Feed every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
Pruning:
- Trim as needed to maintain shape and control its spread. It can be quite vigorous.
- Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.
General Care Tips for Both:
- Repotting: Repot in the spring when the plant outgrows its container or every 1-2 years to refresh the soil. Choose a pot with drainage holes.
- Propagation: Both can be easily propagated by stem cuttings or division. For division, gently pull apart clumps of the plant, ensuring each division has roots. Stem cuttings can be rooted in water or directly in moist soil.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites and aphids. Increase humidity to deter spider mites and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Common Problems:
- Yellowing leaves: Can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiencies. Adjust your watering and consider fertilizing during the growing season.
- Brown, crispy leaves: Often a sign of low humidity or direct sunlight.
- Leggy growth: Usually due to insufficient light.
By understanding these specific care requirements, you can help your Pilea Depressa, Baby Tears Plant, Soleirolia Soleirolii plant thrive!
