Propagation
Surface sow fresh seed during spring in a well-drained media, and maintain a temperature of 16º to 18º C. (61º to 64º F). Prick out and pot up when they are large enough to handle.

Soft tip or semi-hardwood cuttings during late summer to early winter and apply bottom heat.

Botanic information
Leaf: The tiny bright green obovate leaves have an obtuse to acute apex and very short petiole. They are arranged in unequal pairs along the triangular-shaped branchlets and have a fern-like appearance.

Flower: The tiny cream cyathiform flowers have 3-4 tepals. The male flowers are arranged at the base of the branches and the females appear in a compact axillary almost sessile cyme from late spring to early summer.

Fruit: The small fruit contains numerous tiny achenes (seeds) that are ejected forcibly from the fruit when touched (Artillery Plant). The small seed is not commonly seen and the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.

Culture
This plant requires temperatures above 12ºC (55ºF) during winter and placed in bright indirect light. It is an easy plant to grow and propagate.

Watering
Water regularly during summer allowing the soil too become partially dry before re-watering. 
In winter use tepid water more sparingly. Do not allow the soil to become wet.

Humidity
During summer mist the leaves during daylight regularly to maintain a humid environment.

Re-pot during spring but in some countries Pilea cadierei is regarded as an annual.
