Varieties:

Pilea ‘Moon Valley’ (Pilea mollis) is a striking tropical plant prized for its deeply textured, quilted leaves and vivid contrast of bright green and bronze tones. Native to Central and South America, this compact species thrives in warm, humid environments—making it an excellent choice for terrariums, vivariums, and indoor tropical displays. Its uniquely puckered leaf surface reflects light beautifully, giving it an almost luminescent appearance reminiscent of moonlit valleys, hence its name. Pilea ‘Moon Valley’ prefers indirect light, consistently moist but well-drained soil, and high humidity, making it ideal for naturalistic enclosures housing reptiles, amphibians, or tropical invertebrates. Easy to care for and visually captivating, it brings texture, color, and a sense of lush vibrancy to any planted setup.
