Sydney

Such a fun plant!

Reviewed on March 15, 2025.

This plant is so easy to care for. It loves having the soil completely dry before watering again. It almost thrives on neglect ha! It’s very interesting to watch grow.

Best online place to order

I was kind of nervous to order this plant in the mail due it it’s fragile leaves. I have ordered from Josh’s frogs before and they always package very well, they were the only one I trusted to order it from. Of course it arrived to my door in perfect condition, minimal leave loss! I could not be happier.

Lillian

Very healthy

They look very healthy and are way bigger than I expected. I ordered 2, one for a terrarium and one to have as a house plant, and overall I am super happy with how they look.

Kimberly

Plant was clearly healthy and shipped quickly, but sustained some damage.

The price for this plant is totally unbeatable. I've been unable to find this plant at local greenhouses and plant shops, despite it's current popularity. Most shops online are charging between $20-40 for one medium sized pilea peperomioides, which in my opinion is way too expensive. It arrived healthy with a decent root system that made it easy to replant in a larger pot. However, three leaves were damaged (one small one that needed to be trimmed off, and two large ones that should recover, but will be scarred) due to the shipping conditions, which were less than ideal (messy to unwrap due to soggy paper wrapping and some spilled soil, and the plants were a bit squished). It was slightly smaller than the plants pictured. However, they were still warm (thanks to a heating pad) and moist when they arrived, and I have no doubt that this plant will do well. Overall, I'm extremely pleased. I ordered 3 other plants as well, which shipped without any damage and are all similarly healthy and happy. I'm quite satisfied.
