watering
Creeping Charlie plants (Pilea nummulariifolia) should be watered when the top 2-3 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Aim to water the plant about once a week, and keep in mind that it likes a good soak to ensure its’ root system is well watered. Additionally, reduce the amount of water in the winter season as the plant does not require as much. If you notice any overwatering, be sure to dry out the soil and take extra care with your watering routine so this doesn’t happen again.
sunlight
Creeping Charlie plants require medium to bright indirect sunlight. They can tolerate direct sunlight but, if exposed to direct sunlight too frequently, their leaves may become burnt or discolored. It should receive at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably early in the morning or late in the afternoon. If you do not have access to bright direct light, artificial lights may be used to supplement the necessary sunlight. Make sure that the plant is not placed too close to the light source, adjusting the distance as necessary.
pruning
Creeping Charlie should be pruned twice a year, once in the spring and once in the early summer. Prune just enough to maintain the desired shape. In the spring, cut back stems to 1-quarter to 1-half of their original length; and in the summer, prune back excess growth. When pruning, also remove any dead or damaged stems and yellow or wilted leaves. This will help to promote healthy growth and maintain a compact and tidy shape.
