Pilea hitchcockii
Pilea hitchcockii is a distinctive foliage houseplant known for its textured, richly coloured leaves and compact, upright habit. Its deep green to bronze-toned foliage often shows subtle veining and a softly quilted surface, giving the plant an unusual tactile appearance that stands out among smaller tropical houseplants.
This compact species works beautifully on shelves, desks, or grouped with other foliage plants where its unique leaf texture can be appreciated up close. Ideal for bright indoor spaces with indirect light, it suits modern interiors and smaller living areas where a refined yet characterful plant is desired.
- Other names: Nettle family plant
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe around pets and children
- Eventual height: 20-30cm
- Origins: Central and South America
