Optimal Care for Your Creeping Charlie Plants

To ensure your Creeping Charlie plants thrive, follow these simple care guidelines. Start with a well-draining potting mix containing peat moss, perlite, and compost. This ensures that the roots receive adequate aeration and moisture. When planting cuttings or small plants, insert them about 1 inch deep into the soil, ensuring the soil is lightly firmed around them. For watering, maintain consistent moisture, but avoid soggy conditions. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch to prevent root rot.

Light is crucial for healthy growth. Pilea Nummulariifoli prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Maintain a temperature between 65–75°F (18–24°C) and a humidity level of 40-60%. If the air is dry, especially during winter, mist the plants occasionally to provide extra humidity. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Maintenance and Growth

Regular maintenance is essential for controlling the spread and promoting bushier growth of your Swedish Ivy plants. Trim the plants to maintain their desired shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Since the plants are housed in 4-inch pots, it’s important to monitor their root growth. If they outgrow the pot, repot them into a larger container to provide more space for their roots to expand. Remember, each pot contains two plants, not just one, so they will grow faster!
