Pilea pumila aka Canada Clearweed

With its straightforward care requirements, Canada Clearweed is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Canada Clearweed should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Canada Clearweed loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Canada Clearweed requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Canadian Clearweed is always in the right place to thrive.

During the wintertime, it is common for Canada Clearweed plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Canada Clearweed is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Canada Clearweed does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Once the Canada Clearweed has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Canada Clearweed as it grows vertically.
