a great choice for pilea!

### Sam commented on 2024-08-20

Yep!

### Adrian commented on 2024-08-20

Agreed! Do you need any soil recommendations?

#### Abi replied on 2024-08-20

Yes please! Thank you!

I currently keep mine in a mixture of Espoma’s All-Purpose mix and Cactus and Succulent mix, about 70% All Purpose and 30% Cactus, cause the cactus one contains wood chip pieces and perlite and helps make the soil a chunkier mix for more drainage. Another great brand would be FoxFarm’s Organic Ocean Forest soil with the addition of some perlite and orchid bark for better drainage. And please avoid anything miracle grow for this plant. It stays moist for too long and contains too much peat, and is infamous for attracting gnats and killing plants. Hope this helps!
