Well, I am going to reply to my own post, but would still like any extra information I can get. Here is the answer I found using Ask.com:

Pilea species do best in bright indirect or curtain-filtered sunlight; if only artificial light is available, provide at least 400 foot-candles. Night temperatures of 65° to 70° and day temperatures of 75° to 85° are ideal. Keep the soil barely moist at all times. Feed established plants at two-month intervals with standard house-plant fertilizer diluted to half the minimum strength recommended on the label, but wait three or four months before feeding newly purchased or potted plants. Because old plants become straggly, it is best to start new plants--from stem cuttings or by dividing the roots--early each spring. The plants generally grow most satisfactorily in 3- to 4-inch pots, a size that allows space for a good balance between root and top growth. Use a mixture of equal parts of a packaged general-purpose potting soil and peat moss or leaf mold. Watch for spider mites.

Mitzi found this hope this helps.
