Pilea Mollis, also known as the Moon Valley Pilea, is a textured favourite, with deeply quilted leaves that look like they’ve been pressed from velvet. Bright green with bronzy-red veins, these guys are always a head turner when we've got them in the shop.

Native to Central and South America, this compact plant loves humidity and soft, dappled light, which makes it absolutely perfect for terrariums (we use them in ours all the time). It likes its soil to stay lightly moist, and prefers a warm environment without too much direct sun.

With its small size and incredible texture, Pilea Mollis has depth and colour whether in a pot or terrarium and it’s definitely one of those plants that always gets someone asking “ooh, what’s that one?”
