Creeping Charlie
(Pilea nummulariifolia)

Creeping charlie is a good choice for hanging baskets.  It has light green leaves on reddish stems.  Note that the garden creeping charlie, which is often thought of as a weed, is a completely different plant: Nepeta hederacea.

Light
Place in medium light (bright indirect or filtered sun).  Move plant to find preferred spot.

Water
Keep soil evenly moist at all times.  Mist frequently.  Raise humidity.

Temperature
Maintain average temperatures, preferably 65 to 75 degrees.

Comments
Fertilize lightly every 14 days.  Pinch off growing tips to create bushy plants and keep growth under control.  Propagate by stem cuttings or root division.  For fullest look, curl long stems around the plant and pin each node into the soil.  Stems will root where they are pinned to soil.
