Pileas grow best in a well drained potting medium rich in organic matter. Many of the commercially formulated or nursery blended peat-like mixes with good aeration characteristics can be used for production of pilea. A low pH should be adjusted to 5.0 to 6.0 with dolomitic limestone. Plants should be fertilized with a liquid or soluble formulation with a 3-1-2 or similar analysis ratio at the rate of 1.7 to 2.3 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet per month. Microelements can be added at the time the potting medium is formulated or during plant production as a liquid supplement.
