Pilea Silver Sprinkles is an attractive small silvery green leaved creeper with neat growth habits.
Ideally used as an Indoor plant here in Victoria, especially in the cold Dandenong Ranges, Pilea looks great as a hanging basket or in a decorative pot / container for decks, verandas, patios or indoors and is also perfect for larger terrariums. If you live in a warmer climate, Pilea make a great ground cover.
Pilea prefer bright, indirect light, they do not like full sun and are not as colourful or happy in shade, so indirect light is perfect and well drained soil, they do not like to be wet.
Water Pilea when the soil feels dry or the plant starts to droop. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, watering a little more often in the warmer months and less often in the cooler months. Liquid feed during the warmer months for best growth results.
Dracaena Sanderiana or Chinese Lucky Bamboo, is a popular Indoor Plant that is able to grow and thrive in any Indoor environment, including areas of low light.
Lucky Bamboo is a symbol of good luck in China and is one of the most popular Indoor plants in the world.
Lucky Bamboo are also good in office and classrooms, as they are able to handle harsh air conditioning, or heating areas. Lucky Bamboo will survive anywhere Indoors and will only survive outdoors in the warmer climates, As long as they are protected from the cold of winter.
Water Lucky Bamboo when the soil begins to dry out, they can tolerate short periods without water... fertilise occasionally with a seaweed liquid feed ( maybe 3 times per year). Ocassioal stems may die, just remove them when they go yellow. New shoots will develop.
Ceropegia Woodii... Chain of Hearts is a delicate trailing plant with grey -green heart shaped leaves, produced along long chains, which develop unusual small purple - pink flowers to create even more interest.
Chain of Hearts require a well lit warm position indoors, or a partly shaded spot outdoors ( only during the warmer months in Victoria), in good quality, well drained potting mix. I find the roots are delicate, so be careful handling them, as the chains like to wrap around things and as you pick them up, they tend to grab and tear... so handle with care.
for best results, liquid feed regularly and keep soil moist, ( cool to touch), but not wet.
Chain of Hearts look great in hanging baskets, either on their own or combined with other foliage or flowering indoor plants.
Chain of hearts look amazing trailing in a well lit bathroom, with a white back drop, or even black back drop, it really highlights the colour and contrast of these plants.
Just recently, I have hung Chain of hearts, from my pitched roof in the lounge of my home... we have lived here for over 13 years and i never realised how lifeless and dull my loungeroom was, until i started hanging indoor plants, now it is even more lively and i tend to not notice the kids personal monbulk dumpsite with their crap everywhere, as much, as im more focused on looking at my beautiful indoor baskets, rather than x-box crap, cups, plates, bowls, socks, shoes, scooters, school works, towels ( because they are so hard to hang up), empty wrappers etc etc.... they will never leave and live like animals, so i might as well turn it into a jungle... starting with more beautiful Chain of Hearts.
