Care tips for Pilea mollis include:

 

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

 

Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.

 

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but can adapt to standard indoor conditions. Misting can help if the air is very dry.

 

Temperature: Enjoys a warm environment, ideally between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Keep away from cold drafts.

 

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants. 

 

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

 

Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when it becomes root-bound, using fresh soil.

 

With proper care, Pilea mollis can thrive and produce new offsets, which are often shared among plant enthusiasts.
