    Someone gave me this plant. It has very textured, green leaves with a purple color in the center and what looks like little sprouts of pink seeds.
    I believe it's an angel plant but I'm not sure what kind or how to care for it. if someone could help me that would be great! thanks:)

    Pilea. Compare to Pilea mollis or P. involucrata. It may be the cultivar 'Moon Valley'. Lovely crinckled foliage, easy to care for and propagate. Nice houseplants.

    Easy to care for, huh? What's the secret? I haven't killed any, mine just has not grown at all. I did have one that I forgot to water and all the leaves dried out, but the stem felt viable. So I watered it and low and behold leaves popped out of the stem! I thought it was a gonner for sure. But I just cannot get my other one to do anything except not die! The info on it all says about the same thing, but no luck for me! Any tips?
