The pilea glauca is one of the few plants that don’t have a confirmed botanical name. Although, it may probably end up being called Pilea libanensis. That said, what it doesn’t lack is a bunch of common names. A few of these names include pilea silver sparkle, grey baby tears and grey artillery plant just to name a few.

 

Like its botanical name, its origin is a little fuzzy as well. However, what botanists do know is that it is native to Central America and Brazil.

 

The pilea glauca is a fast growing vine with trailing foliage. It is likewise easy to care for. Both are reasons why you’ll see them in and around homes.

 

Like other vines, you’ll notice this plant because it grows in clusters. Its small, round, light gray leaves won’t catch anyone’s attention on their own. But as a group you’ll notice them. In a way, the plant looks much like the baby tears plant, except its leaves are paler in color. Thus, its nickname as the grey baby tears.
