Forms a trailing mound of tiny rounded leaves, which when grown indoors, is retained throughout the year. A fast-growing plant, Soleirolia soleirolii looks great when used as groundcover in a potted arrangement, but its vigour can smother smaller, slower-growing plants if it is not kept in check. For a smart, contemporary look, line up 3 or 5 on a windowsill, where it will get bright but indirect light with protection from strong direct sun.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Grow in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sun that can scorch its tiny leaves. Keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged, as it dislikes drying out, and mist regularly to maintain humidity.
Trim back overgrown or leggy areas to encourage dense, carpet-like growth, and remove any yellowing or dead stems. It thrives in warm, humid conditions, so keep temperatures above 15°C (59°F) and away from cold draughts or radiators.
