Description
Description
Pilea glaucophylla is a Charming little spreading plant that looks incredible as a filler in a terrarium or cascading down a pot into the air or across a surface. It has small delicate turquoise leaves on a reddish stem that grow quickly in summer and are incredibly easy. It's called the Artillery Plant for a reason; when watered, the stamens of the unremarkable flowers will sometimes burst open and eject pollen into the air. Not known to be poisonous by consumption of pets and humans. If high quantities are eaten, it may result in vomiting, nausea and a loss of appetite.
