Pilea 'Creeping Charlie' - Charlie On The Move: Decorative and Low-Maintenance Groundcover Plant

Meet Charlie On The Move, also known as Pilea 'Creeping Charlie'. This little green wonder is the perfect plant for those who love to decorate but don’t want the hassle of high-maintenance. With its adorable, scalloped-edged leaves that have a crinkly texture, this ornamental plant is equally at home sprawling across your garden bed or cascading down a chic indoor planter. It might be called "Creeping," but trust us, it’s never creepy—just endlessly charming.

Care Instructions:

Charlie thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions without throwing a fit.
