Description

Pilea Glaucophylla, also known as the “Creeping Charlie” or “Silver Sparkle,” is a playful and elegant trailing plant with a unique look. Her tiny, round leaves have a silvery glow and grow along reddish-brown stems that cascade gracefully downward. The result? A light, almost fairytale-like plant that shines on a shelf, in a hanging pot, or as a ground cover in a terrarium.

What makes this Pilea so special is her delicate texture and soft color palette. She adds a subtle touch of green to your interior without overpowering it. Thanks to her compact growth habit, she’s perfect for smaller spaces, and her trailing nature makes her a true eye-catcher. Plus, she’s non-toxic to pets — a safe choice for any household.

Glaucophylla is one of the most beloved varieties in the Pilea family, often chosen by plant lovers who appreciate refinement and simplicity. She’s easy to care for, propagates well, and grows steadily. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned collector, this Pilea is a charming addition to your plant collection.

Care tips

Pilea Glaucophylla prefers a bright spot without direct sunlight. Place her near an east- or north-facing window, or in a terrarium with artificial light. Too much sun can bleach her leaves, while too little light will slow her growth. She also does well in partial shade, as long as it’s not too dark.

Water her 2 to 3 times a week with small amounts, keeping the soil lightly moist. In winter, you can reduce this to once a week. Make sure her pot drains well — soggy roots are a no-go. Increased humidity is a bonus: mist her leaves occasionally to keep them fresh and prevent brown edges.

During the growing season (spring and summer), feed her once a month with a succulent-friendly fertilizer. She produces easy stem cuttings that you can snip and root in water or soil. It’s a breeze to propagate her and share with friends — or start your own Glaucophylla family.
