Pilea spruceana ‘Silver Tree’ – Metallic Silver Foliage Houseplant

The Silver Tree Pilea (Pilea spruceana ‘Silver Tree’) is a striking foliage plant prized for its metallic silver veining and deep burgundy undersides. Its narrow, serrated leaves shimmer under indirect light, making it a standout choice for terrariums, vivariums, and indoor plant collections.

This cultivar stays compact and spreads outward rather than upward, making it ideal as a foreground plant in bioactive enclosures or as a decorative tabletop houseplant. High humidity enhances its coloration, but it adapts well to normal indoor conditions when properly watered.

Perfect for plant collectors, terrarium builders, and anyone looking to add bold texture without overwhelming a space.
