Description

The image shows a small Pilea microphylla plant, also known as Artillery Plant or Angeloweed, in a black plastic pot. The plant is characterized by its very small, almost translucent, bright green leaves that grow densely along delicate, branching stems. This gives the plant a fine-textured, moss-like appearance. The stems are thin and somewhat wiry. The pot is simple and functional. The background is a plain white surface, which highlights the plant’s delicate foliage. Often grown in terrariums or as a houseplant for its unique and attractive foliage. It gets its common name “Artillery Plant” from its ability to explosively release pollen.
