Know before you buy
Yes, the planter is a genuine piece of 1940s pottery. Because it is a true vintage item, it carries a unique character that you won't find in modern, mass-produced containers.
This Pilea prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without harsh, direct sun will keep the foliage healthy.
The Pilea has moderate watering needs. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to ensure the roots don't sit in excess moisture.
No, the Pilea is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
As a juvenile plant, it will be comfortable in its current pot for some time. When you eventually notice the roots becoming crowded or the plant requiring more frequent waterings, you can carefully repot it into a slightly larger container.
