Pilea Peperomioides, or Chinese Money Plant, is a rare houseplant with coin-shaped green leaves. Its round leaves resemble coins, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. Placing this plant in your home or office is believed to attract financial abundance and good luck. The leaves have long, thin leaf stems growing around the trunk of the plant. This unique foliage makes Pilea Peperomioides a bold and precious addition to your houseplant collection.

Pilea Peperomioides is an Asiatic perennial herb native to Yunnan Province in Southern China, growing at the foot of the Himalayas mountains. It is believed that this plant was brought to Scandinavia in the 1940s, and became popular throughout the Nordic countries before spreading to other parts of the world.

Pilea Peperomioides is a fast grower and can reach about 12" in both height and width.

A mature Pilea Peperomioides may produce clusters of small white flowers on pink-tinged stems.
Pilea Peperomioide needs bright, indirect sunlight. It does not tolerate low light conditions. Too little light can slow down its growth and makes this plant leggy. Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorching leaves.

Pilea Peperomioides needs watering about once per week or whenever the first 2" of the soil is dry. Always check the soil before watering and drain well to avoid root rot.

Pilea Peperomioides does not like waterlogged soil, and the best soil for this plant is well-drained, porous potting soil that can promote healthy root development.

This plant grows best in normal room temperatures (between 65°F-85°F). This plant is not frost-tolerant and it does not grow well when the temperature drops below 50°F. Pilea Peperomioides thrives in average indoor humidity, and it is recommended that you mist your plant and use a humidifier when the environment is too dry (humidity level falls below 50%). Low humidity can cause brown patches on the leaves.

This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
