Notes
Silver tree (Pilea spruceana) is a perennial for containers and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It stays compact at about 12 inches tall and wide. The evergreen leaves give you color in every season.
Pairs well with Boston fern, Global Green pothos, Rojo Congo philodendron, and Fiddle leaf fig.
