Better Pilea peperomioides Pictures

Last I posted about this plant, I didn't provide close up pictures - I am about to correct that deficiency.



Some plants explode growth wise once they hit a certain size.  Their root network is large enough to support more growth, and the leaves provide more than enough energy to fuel new development.  Hopefully this one is getting there.  It certainly is spitting out leaves like it...

Update on the Pilea peperomioides

I was actually a little worried about this plant.  The shipping stress shows up more on non-succulent, deciduous plants and this one lots a bunch of leaves.  Well - that is certainly behind us now and this plant is on the cusp of flourishing.



It has become acclimated to morning sunlight that pipes in through the space between our house and our neighbors.  I water it at least every other day.  In the recent weeks, it has been putting out new leaves weekly and it has retained them.  The stalk is starting to show signs of turning more woody.  I'd said it has gotten through the adjustment period and hopefully will start accelerating with its growth.
