Pilea 'Norfolk' is an interesting yet often overlooked grower, with silver and deep red quilted leaves, which make it look metallic. If that's not enough for ya, the new growth comes in a bright raspberry red before hardening to its mature, silver and grey hue. 

The Involucrata is native to Central and South America and 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 goes dull in colour when thirsty.

Pileas are often nicknamed friendship plants because they're so easy to propagate. Simply cut anywhere on the stem, let it callous over and place it in some moist soil. It should root within a couple of weeks! An easy-going, pet safe plant, sure to add intrigue into your collection.
