My love for crochet plants h increased greatly over the p couple of years. Since I started designing crochet plants, I build a large list of to-do's, and this Baby Tears Pilea Depress was one on the list.
It is so much fun to make and the outcome is beautifully pleasing to the eyes. After studying the plant, I fell in love with it even more! Here are a few facts about this beauty.
- Pilea depressa is practically indestructible and requires very little maintenance to survive in an enclosure.
- Pilea depressa also known as the Baby Tears Plant, is a trailing plant with petite leaves growing no taller than 3 inches.
- Tropical ground cover plant with an abundance of miniature leaves
- They grow tiny creamy white flowers that have no petals. For this reason, they are not used decoratively.
- It is a moss-like plant that creeps very quickly.
- It is part of the Urticaceae (the nettle) family. Without the stinging hairs.
- Interestingly, Both male flowers and female flowers may be borne on the same plant.
- Native to Corsica and Sardinia in Italy, the baby tears plant identifies by the botanical name Soleirolia soleirolii. Common names include Irish moss and “Mind-Your-Own-Business.”
