Plant Whisperers is our blog section where, each month, we interview true Pilea lovers and plant enthusiasts all around the world!
This month we met Elena, from Russia. She's the mom of 77 plants, and a beautiful cat!
She has a stunning gallery of pictures on Instagram @lenmorv, make sure to follow her!
I began collecting plants about two years ago. I have started to spend more time outside of town and feel inspired by nature.
I have started with only one houseplant, and I noticed it made my room come alive. Then, I kept collecting more and more. Plants make me smile and feel happier!
It's hard to pick a favorite. I love them all!
I have spent so long searching for Pilea in my city. And then, about six months ago, I've finally found it! I bought a baby Pilea.
It's a new plant in my collection, and I'm loving it.
I think Pilea is an easy-care and beautiful plant! My Pilea enjoys growing in my bedroom, in front of an ample bright North-facing window. I water this plant once a week.
I do talk to my plants! It's part of my morning routine. I tell them how adorable they are!
I have never had any problem with that!
I am lucky, my cat is very kind with my plants, and she has never tried to eat them.
She just likes to sniff and go through the leaves. I think she really likes my little urban jungle!
I also make sure to always keep a container with some cat grass.
My mom has lots of plants, just like me! I think my whole family loves my indoor jungle because it's a place where you can calm down and relax.
Also, I have learned there is a large crowd of plant loving people. I am so grateful and happy about it!
I want a large Pilea Peperomioides!
We are impressed by your enthusiasm and dedication to plants.
