The Pilea 'Creeping Charlie' is a great decorative plant with green, spade-like leaves. Its leaves also feature scalloped edges. Keep this plant inside and in its own container because it is known as an invasive species that is exceedingly difficult to get rid of once established outdoors.

Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

Cute decorative pilea that is highly invasive if planted outdoors.
