Friendship Plant

Pilea involucrata

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Pilea involucrata (friendship plant)? A cultivar name after it, such as 'Norfolk' or 'Moon Valley', is still Yes, and so is Pilea ovalis, another name used for the same plant. If it only says friendship plant, Pilea 'Moon Valley', Pilea mollis or just pilea, choose I'm not sure.

Important precautions

ASPCA lists the friendship plant as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. It is not a food plant, and we found no human poisoning data, which does not prove it is safe to eat. If a child or pet eats a lot of it, contact a doctor, vet or poison service.
