4" Pilea Aquamarine

Exactly where we got our Pilea Aquamarine no one knows but it is surmised it came from South American rainforests where it would have behaved like an exuberant, running groundcover. What we have here is a pot filled with crowds of red strings and millions of completely round dots crowding and spilling over the pot's edge to trail exuberantly. Succulenty, kinda thickish dots of a nice, medium green can sometimes be sprinkled with a silvery fairy dusting of glittery powder that earned it the name Silver Sparkle Pilea. Ours are mostly in greens but you never know... Funny thing is, when you look at the whole plant you often see little groups of 3 or 4 dots together kinda like a bunch of 3 or 4 leaf clovers, and then a little space between the next dots. Like a clover patch in your lawn. Other dots crowd in and join the clovers on and on, each little dot looking up the same direction, presumably to grab whatever light is there in the rainforest between the trees.
