Scientific Name: Pilea involucrata Plant with leaves like felt caps with wrappers Norfolk. Common Name: Norfolk Friendship Plant, Angel Wings. Origin: Native to Central and South America. The common name of the Friendship Plant comes from how easy it is to propagate, and through this to share with your friends! This plant's foliage truly stands out; its silvery leaves with bronze-red furrows are eyecatching on any sideboard or shelf. The Pilea Norfolk grows in a bushy shape and can grow up to 10'' high; it will also do well as a terrarium plant, kept smaller to fit. Like its native rainforest environment, this plant thrives best in warm, humid spots; pick a good place for it and watch its foliage grow, as new leaves mature from red to silver and really become showstopping.
