The Pilea family is a relatively small plant family that originates from Mid and Tropical America and Asia. The Eden Collection includes four Pilea varieties; Pilea depressa, Pilea depressa Sao Paulo, Pilea glauca and the recently added plant: the Pilea peperomioides. The first three plants are characterised by small leaves that compactly grow on the pot. Pilea peperomioides is the odd one out with large round leaves that form a broad span on its long stems. Differences within families can thus be considerably diverse.
