Common name: Pilea
The genre
the Pileas picks up a multitude of species and new hybrids, which are all part of the family Urticaceae. Most herbaceous species are found in many tropical and subtropical temperate regions of the world.
is a highly branched plant with slender erect stems and reddish, which disappear when they reach 12-15 cm to fall suspended forming a beautiful hanging plant size. Perfect for indoors and have very interesting especially if you are offered a place where their stems to hang loosely, like a shelf or a windowsill.
This plant has leaves opposite, decussate (ie each pair of leaves is crossed with the previous pair) are very close to each other, are oval in shape, color is a very deep green, the surface is rough ribbed hollow, with a slight amount of fine hairs white, are delicately scalloped edges.
Its cultivation is simple in both indoors and outdoors, in both cases requires a good amount of light, but always excluding the direct sun on the leaves. During the summer
grateful that he often spray water across the diffuser air, taking caution to use lukewarm water or at least it's not too cold and cal to leave spots on the leaves. The dryness makes the leaves turn yellow at their edges or acquire a brownish coloration, when this happens you have to spray the plant more often.
It is not difficult to flower indoors, although their lack of interest ornamental flowers, the flowers are tiny and appear grouped in bundles in the stem end, they may appear in different seasons.
When the mature plant has a tendency to get naked on the base of the stem, so it is beneficial to regularly pinch the ends of the stems to originate new leaves at the foot of the stem, this in turn will help the plant to develop more compact.
The risks have to be quite frequent throughout the year, but should never be standing water in the bottom of a pot.
Every two weeks is irrigated with water in which the liquid fertilizer diluted standard, winter feeding is ceased. If grown on the outside have to procure a warm start as the cold days of autumn to the heat of summer with the new season.

reproduction is as in almost all species, without any difficulty and cuttings. You can take cuttings of about 8-10 cm in length at any time of year and planted in a good substrate of equal parts peat and compost, root well in water. Since
naturally branches are numerous opportunities to take tip cuttings. Interestingly
win new plants each year so you always have copies to replace other, one can provide us kills countless plants.
