keep them moist. They like their feet wet. You can see these plants growing in
rainy reason and damp areas; they thrive only in moist conditions. Unlike

not recommend this plant.

Very nice info. Any idea about Pilea Depressa ? Is it the same plant as tangled heart ?
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much. Tangled heart and Pilea Depressa are two different plant varieties. Pilea Depressa is also known as baby tears. It is easy to differentiate from the leaf structure.
