Right now, I’m a bit obsessed with the adorable, easy-to-care-for pilea. This pet-friendly plant has nearly circular foliage — which I find both charming and cool design-wise. Place one in your new “home office” (i.e., by your sofa) if it’s a well-lit space. Otherwise, keep this fast-grower close to a window or in a window sill. Water only once every two to three weeks. Click here to have one delivered and ready to enjoy via Leon & George. Want to share the love? Pilea is easy to propagate, so you can start a new plant with a cutting from your own.
