Baby Tears (Pilea depressa)

Baby Tears is a charming trailing houseplant that creates a soft, lush look in small pots, mixed planters, and hanging displays. Its tiny leaves fill in quickly, making it an easy way to add volume and a finished edge to indoor arrangements. The gentle spill-over habit works especially well on shelves and plant stands, where it can cascade naturally. If you want a compact plant that brings a fresh, green texture with simple care, Baby Tears is a great choice.

Distinctive Features

This pilea is grown for its dense mat of small, round, bright green leaves held on fine trailing stems. The overall texture is delicate and cushiony, which helps soften hard lines in containers and adds a relaxed, natural feel indoors. It stays relatively low and spreading in a pot, but can trail nicely when given room to drape. Baby Tears is often used as a living mulch in mixed planters because it fills gaps and creates a cohesive, finished look.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best, and it can tolerate medium light with slower, looser growth.
  • Soil: Use a well-drained indoor potting mix in a container with drainage holes.
  • Water: Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity helps keep growth lush, especially in heated or air-conditioned rooms.
  • Temperature: Keep in warm indoor conditions and protect from cold drafts.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a small decorative pot where the dense, tiny leaves can be appreciated up close.
  • Trailing Houseplant: Let it cascade from shelves or plant stands to add movement and soften edges.
  • Mixed Containers: Use as a filler around upright plants to create a fuller, more finished arrangement.
  • Hanging Displays: Grow in a hanging pot for a compact, green waterfall effect.
  • Terrarium Planting: Add to enclosed displays where humidity stays higher and growth remains dense.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Trim stems as needed to encourage branching and keep the plant thick and tidy.
  • Watering: Avoid letting the pot sit in standing water, and do not allow the soil to stay constantly soggy.
  • Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1 to 2 years or refresh the top layer of soil to keep growth vigorous.
  • Monitoring: Watch for spider mites in dry air and rinse foliage occasionally to keep leaves clean.

Why Choose Baby Tears?

  • Soft Texture: Tiny leaves create a lush, cushiony look that complements most indoor plants.
  • Fast Fill-In: Dense growth helps containers look full and finished quickly.
  • Trailing Habit: Cascades naturally to add movement and soften edges on shelves and stands.
  • Great Mixer Plant: Works as a filler in mixed planters to tie different textures together.
  • Simple Care: Thrives with bright, indirect light and a consistent watering routine.

If you want a trailing plant that adds a soft green finish to indoor displays, Baby Tears is an excellent choice. Give it bright, indirect light, water when the top of the soil begins to dry, and trim occasionally to keep it dense. With a steady routine, it stays lush and brings a relaxed, fresh look to shelves, planters, and hanging pots.

Perfect stand for your Apple products
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Silver
I loved the look and design of this stand so much that I bought two of them, one for my work office and one for my home office. I have a 13" Macbook Pro and the screen sits at the perfect height for me. I do not feel like I am straining my neck looking down at my computer screen anymore. At both my work and home offices I have Apple display monitors, so now my laptop screen is inline with my monitors, AND matches their bases, which is very nice. The keyboard is at a nice angle and isn't too high off the desk if you need to use the trackpad or keyboard. However, I recommend using a secondary keyboard and mouse. The keyboard sits about 4" off the desk so there is room to store your secondary keyboard and mouse underneath the stand. But because it is 4" off the desk, it makes it uncomfortable to type on the laptop or use the trackpad for an extended period of time. The cord keeper hole in the back of the stand is a nice touch, however if your cords are too tight, it will rotate your stand. The swivel is a nice touch, but it is somewhat sensitive. So far no accidental bumps have irritated me, which was one of my concerns before I purchased. All-in-all I would recommend this product to anyone who uses their laptop with a secondary display, regardless of if you use Apple products or not. It is a well made stand and looks good, and seems like it will accommodate most laptops (within the manufacturers guidelines).

A Solution to Lapbook Problems
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Silver
This is the best product I have encountered in all my days of using a laptop. I use it with a wireless keyboard, and so the screen is up in my face where I can see it well, and the keyboard in down below where I can type easily without tiring my wrists. I am delighted with it all. The stand swivels, an advantage I was not expecting to care about, and find that I do. The swivel allows me to adjust to the incoming light for better vision. That might not make sense to users of lamps, but I have a skylight and so am accommodating to the sun all day long. The swivel changes everything. Another plus is how sturdy the stand is. I have no fears of it turning over or dumping the laptop into my lap. It is clearly there to stay, and yet if I need to move it, that is easily accomplished. I tuck the entire thing behind closed doors most of the time when it is not in use, and that leaves my work space neat and tidy. There is one final advantage. I am a coffee drinker, and I have always been worried about knocking my cup over into my computer. With the stand, my computer sits above the desk top where I put my coffee, and the keyboard is on s shell below and out of the way. I still prefer to drink rather than knock over my coffee, but, hey, why not have a measure of safety also. I give this product a 10 star review if there is such a thing. It has been a real game changer for me, and now I am not regretting not purchasing a desktop machine. My laptop is absolutely perfect with this stand, and has the advantage that it goes with me when I travel. Bettie Banks

Great Stand for retina Macbook Pro 15" but one thing you have to be careful about! NEW USERS/BUYERS BEWARE!
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Silver
Great stand as other reviewers have noted. The laptop runs cooler, the ergonomics for working are much better.... I just wish ONE thing for this stand. I wish the latch that holds the computer at the bottom trackpad area (meaning the two protruding feet on the stand that are holding your laptop in place right by the trackpad) had a bit more height to it. I have noticed my laptop is almost flush with the feet of the stand, which looks nice design-wise, but makes it a bit less-than-secure. A few times, I thought I put my laptop on the stand securely, but found that a small bump would almost make the laptop slide down off that latch, meaning I did not put my laptop securely onto the stand and into the latch after all. Thank goodness I saved my Mac right before the it fell and got any damage those few times. I have one of the latest generations of the retina Macbook Pro 15", which means my computer is thus relatively thin (meaning that the height of the laptop when fully closed, from the bottom of the case to the top of the case, is really short). So if I am having trouble with it, I bet older generations of Macbook Pros that are a bit thicker, or any other laptops that are thicker, might have the same issues I have. Computers that are thin like the Macbook Air probably do not have much issue. But now that I am aware of the issue, I double-check to make sure that the latch is securely holding the laptop when placing it on the stand, so it is not that big of a problem to deal with--just NEW USERS/BUYERS PLEASE BEWARE SO YOU MAKE SURE YOUR LAPTOP DOESN'T SLIDE OFF!

Looks improved!
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Silver, Style: Swivel Base, Color: Silver
Bought this model originally in 2016 and it has held up quite well. Decided to get a newer one since some of the product images appeared to indicate some changes had been made. - the center opening with the logo is larger, better for airflow. - the circle pads on the top are also larger. - the front lip has been simplified using less materials, good choice. - the bottom bearings are noticeably smoother and quieter. Great attention to detail I think. I prefer the 360 spinning version after trying the standard one. The ability to rotate the stand is just so convenient. This is my favorite aluminum stand on here and now it’s even better! See photos and video for comparison. Old model on left.

Functional, durable, and color-matching stand for MacBook Pro
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Space Gray
I recently purchased this stand for my MacBook Pro and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The design of the stand is a perfect match for my MacBook Pro, it looks great and it fits perfectly. The stand is made of durable materials and it feels very sturdy and stable, perfect for keeping on your desk. One of the features that I appreciate the most is that it allows me to rotate my MacBook Pro 360 degrees, which is extremely convenient when I am in a meeting and need to show something on my screen to someone else. The stand also has a non-slip rubber base which provides a stable and secure grip on any surface. Additionally, the color space gray is exactly the same as the MacBook Pro, which makes it seamlessly integrate with the overall design. Even though it is not lightweight to carry around, it is designed to be kept on your desk, which makes it perfect for a workstation. In summary, I highly recommend this stand for MacBook Pro to anyone looking for a functional and durable stand that allows to rotate the screen, perfect to keep on your workstation and with a color that integrates seamlessly with the MacBook Pro.
