Peace in Home (Soleirolia soleirolii): Tiny Leaves, Big Vibes

Looking for a plant that’s low to the ground but high on charm? Meet Peace in Home, also known by its slightly harder-to-pronounce botanical name, Soleirolia soleirolii. With its tiny, round, vibrant green leaves and soft, mat-like growth, it’s basically a miniature forest for your shelves, terrariums, or hanging planters. It’s delicate, lush, and exudes calm vibes, making it perfect for bringing a touch of tranquility to any space.

Reptile-Safe? Absolutely!

Here’s the good news: Peace in Home is completely safe for reptiles, cats, and dogs. That means it’s perfect for homes with geckos, chameleons, snakes, or even your curious little pets that might wander near your indoor jungle. Your scaled friends can explore around it without risk, though, like any plant, it’s better if they don’t nibble too much—even safe plants can sometimes cause mild digestive upset if eaten in excess. It’s a perfect companion for terrariums, vivariums, or just a lush, green display around your reptile enclosure. Basically, it’s all the leafy charm with none of the worry.

Care Instructions for a Lush, Lively Carpet

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight will scorch its delicate leaves, while too little light will slow growth.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist. Think “soft forest floor”—don’t let it dry out completely, but avoid soggy soil.

• Humidity: Loves humidity, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier. Weekly misting keeps it thriving.

• Soil: A light, well-draining potting mix works best. It’s happy in soil that retains some moisture without staying waterlogged.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a mild liquid fertilizer. Winter is its downtime.

• Maintenance: It grows fast and spreads beautifully, so trim occasionally to maintain shape or prevent it from creeping where you don’t want it.
