Pellonia Plant Care

We recommend using settled tepid water for irrigation. The soil in the container should always be slightly damp. However, ensuring the water does not stagnate in the plant's roots would be best. Keep the humidity levels in check! You should spray the foliage of the plant daily. In winter, the plant also needs frequent watering.

In its first 1-2 years of life, Pellionia needs pruning. Otherwise, the sprouts will stretch!

You can fertilize your greenie half-strength from spring to mid-summer. We advise using standard fertilizer for ornamental foliage plants.

Pellionia Pulchra grows well in partial shade or indirect light. Keep your leafy beauty out of direct sun rays. Put your plant next to an east-facing window.

Pellionia needs nutrient-rich soil. First, you need to put perlite or another drainage layer at the container's bottom. The ordinary soil for flower plants will do. However, it is better to use a mixture of leaf, humus, peat soil, and sand in a ratio of 2:1:1:1.

This plant propagates by seeds and cuttings. Cuttings are the easiest and fastest way to propagate Pellionia. Place the cuttings with a few leaves in the soil, keeping the plants warm. Once the stalk has taken root, you need to care for it the same way you would for an adult plant.

Although Pellionia Pulchra is a thermophilic plant, it is sensitive to extreme heat. The best temperature for the plant is 69-75°F (21-24°C). In winter, you can maintain your green pet within the range of 60-65°F (16-18°C).

This plant has shallow roots so any container will do. Pellionia often grows in hanging containers. Remember that the container must have a drainage hole. The plant does not need a transplant.

Pellionia Pulchra is often grown in terrariums.
