Creeping charlie

Creeping Charlie or Round-leaf Pilea, is a fast-growing, low-growing plant with small, bright green, crinkled leaves and trailing stems. Native to tropical regions of Central and South America and the Caribbean, it is often used as a ground cover or hanging houseplant. Its ability to spread quickly and thrive in warm, humid conditions makes it a popular choice for terrariums, hanging baskets, and shaded garden spots.
