🌿 Pilea “Mint”
Pilea spruceana ‘Mint’
Fresh contrast. Subtle shimmer. Compact character.
Pilea Mint is loved for its textured leaves brushed in silvery green with deep veining. The foliage has a soft, almost metallic glow that catches the light without feeling flashy.
Its low, mounding habit makes it ideal for desktops, shelves, and layered plant styling.
