Each charming, pancake-shaped leaf is a unique work of art, featuring a confetti-like pattern of dark forest green, lime green, and creamy white variegation. No two leaves are exactly alike, making every new one an exciting surprise.

Why You'll Love the Pilea 'Mojito':
-
Playful, Confetti Variegation: The stunning marbled and splashed patterns on its iconic circular leaves bring a sense of joy and whimsy to any space. It’s like having a permanent party in a pot!
-
Compact & Quirky Growth Habit: This Pilea grows in a charming, upright clump, making it a perfect fit for shelves, desks, and tabletops where its beautiful leaf patterns can be admired up close.
-
Easy-Going & Prolific: While its variegation is rare, its care is not. The 'Mojito' shares the same easy-care nature as its solid green cousin and will readily produce "pups" (baby plants) that you can share with friends.
-
A Bright Pop of Light: The light green and white variegation acts as a natural brightener, helping to light up darker corners and complementing any home decor style.
Key Features:
-
Rare Variegated Pilea: A highly desirable and striking mutation of Pilea peperomioides.
-
Marbled Foliage: Features circular leaves with a confetti mix of dark green, light green, and cream.
-
Compact & Non-Toxic: Safe for homes with pets and children.
-
Fast-Growing & Produces Pups: A rewarding plant that multiplies, giving you more plants to enjoy or share.
-
Bright Indirect Light: Prefers plenty of filtered light to maintain its stunning variegation.
The Perfect Plant For:
-
Anyone who loves the classic Pilea and wants a more unique, variegated version.
-
Beginners looking for a low-maintenance yet visually striking plant.
-
Adding a "pop" of playful pattern to a home office or bright kitchen.
-
Plant parents who enjoy propagating and sharing their plant's offspring.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. This is crucial for maintaining the strong variegation and preventing the plant from reverting to solid green. Avoid direct hot sun, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. It dislikes "wet feet," so ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
-
Soil: A well-draining, lightweight potting mix is perfect.
-
Humidity: Adapts very well to average household humidity.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to support its colorful growth.
