Pilea nummulariifolia ‘Creeping Charlie’

Sometimes considered a nuisance by gardeners because of its fast， carpeting growth， Pilea nummulariifolia ‘Creeping Charlie’ is an all around， very popular， and easy to care for vining plant.  It is a low， crawling， creeping vine that is native to South America and the West Indies.  With its thick， healthy evergreen foliage， its crinkly leaves will quickly form a dense ground cover， attaching to pretty much anything in its path.  It prefers moist soil and grows well in partial sun to full shade， reaching a height of 4-6”.      

USDA Hardiness Zones 11-15

Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant:

Due to its ease of care， this plant is a good candidate for container gardening， but will need to be pruned regularly.  As a houseplant， it’s commonly seen trailing off of a hanging basket.

Josh’s Frogs offers a wide variety of glass terrariums， container garden soils， drainage layers and other supplies for all of your indoor gardening needs.

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

With its love of moisture and fast growth， this plant is very popular in the vivarium hobby.  It provides a lush green foliage cover in a short amount of time for inhabitants to hide under.  Be aware that it will have to be pruned often to keep under control and from taking over other plants in the tank.

As good practice， Josh’s Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home.
