To ensure your Creeping Charlie plants thrive, it is essential to use a well-draining potting mix composed of peat moss, perlite, and compost. This provides the necessary aeration and moisture retention for healthy root development. When planting, whether from cuttings or small plants, ensure they are placed about 1 inch deep in the soil, giving them ample space to spread and establish themselves. Remember that this set contains 2 plants in one pot.

Watering is a crucial aspect of Creeping Charlie plant care. Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water. These plants flourish in bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Shield them from direct, harsh sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate leaves. Temperature and humidity also play a vital role. Aim for a temperature range of 65–75°F (18–24°C) and moderate to high humidity (40-60%).

During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize your Pilea Nummulariifoli once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) to encourage healthy growth. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter months. Regular pruning is essential to control its spread and promote bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its vibrant appearance. Keep a close eye on the root growth, and if the plant outgrows its 4-inch pot, repot it into a larger container to provide ample space for expansion.
