Pilea peperomioides - Chinese Money Plant
Pilea peperomioides is a highly sought after indoor plant native to southern China. The plant's bright green color contrasts wonderfully against white walls, which is perhaps why it's so prized in the minimalist interior design world. Also called Chinese Money Plant or Pancake Plant due to its flat, coin-shaped foliage, Pilea peperomioides has a central upright stem, surrounded on all sides by its characteristic perky peltate leaves.
PLANT CARE
• Light: Medium to bright indirect light
• Water: Water when the top 1-2" of soil feel dry
• Considerations: Pilea peperomioides doesn't mind drying out moderately between waterings, but hates "wet feet" – select a pot with drainage. "Pups" can be separated and easily propagated. Pet friendly!
