Grey & round
Unique plant. That describes the aquamarine (Pilea glauca). The house plant has small, round leaves. They are grey and contrast beautifully against the maroon branches. Put this little gem in a high vase or hanging pot.
The Pilea is easy to care for. The houseplant loves being in a bright spot. But it also does well in partial shade. Always keep the potting soil moist, without letting the plant stand in water.

Care
What do I need?
The Pilea is an incredibly low-maintenance, indoor plant. Water it once a week and give it plant food once every two weeks. The Pilea doesn’t like to be soaking wet, so it’s better to skip a round of watering than to water it again when the soil is still moist. It also thrives in high humidity.
