Pellionia Care Guide

Pellionia are easy plants, and to my suprise, many plany don't really know about this plant.

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:
They rarely flower indoor, but when the conditions are just right, Pellionia flowers grow in clusters kind of like a Pilea flower and are on a cute (mostly red) flower stalk.

------------------------------------

WATERING:
Pellionia are superduper flexible when it comes to watering. In my experience, it doesn't mind if you forget to water every once in a while, it likes moist soil but surely doesn't mind a case of dry soil.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS:
These plants can lose their color and patterns in low light, so for optimal growth and beautifulness, give it bright-indirect light.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:
Take a stem cutting, pretty much any size will do and i like to propagate it in water as they root very fast and is fun to see, but you can put the cutting straight into soil aswell, just keep the soil moist until it starts growing again because that is a sign of a rooted Pellionia cutting.

MEDIUMS:

I have grown them in water before which works nice and you can even grow it in leca & water for stabilization, but soil works best for me. My mix consists of soil, perlite and leca. This is written Friday November 7th at 19:58 CET though, by the time you read this i might already be using a different soil mix, but this mix is the easiest and cheapest.
