    Pilea Peperomioides Chinese Money

    Botanical Name: Pilea peperomioides

    Common Name(s): Chinese Money Plant, Pancake Plant, UFO Plant

    Pilea Peperomioides, commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant, is loved for its charming, round, coin-shaped leaves that grow on long, slender stems, creating a unique, sculptural appearance. This compact plant typically grows to about 12 inches in height, making it an ideal choice for desktops, shelves, or small spaces. With its easy care requirements and eye-catching form, it’s perfect for beginners and adds a playful touch to any room.

    Chinese Money Plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light levels. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as Pileas are prone to root rot. This plant does well in average indoor humidity but will benefit from occasional misting, especially in drier environments.

    Air Purifying Qualities:

    • Humidity Regulation: While not as effective as some other plants, the Chinese Money Plant contributes to air moisture through transpiration, which can help slightly improve indoor humidity.
    • Oxygen Production: This plant releases oxygen, helping to freshen the air and create a cleaner indoor atmosphere.

    Note: Pilea Peperomioides is considered non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for households with cats or dogs.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf discoloration and scorch the leaves.

    Water

    Water weekly: Water when the top soil are dry, typically every 7-10 days. Reduce watering in winter and ensure the pot has drainage to prevent root rot.

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and moderate  humidity.

      1. Fertilize regularly: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4 weeks during the spring and summer season.
      2. Monitor for pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
      3. Propagation: This plant produces small “pups” around the base. Gently separate these and replant them to grow new plants or to encourage a less crowded main plant.
      4. Rotate occasionally and prune: Rotate the plant regularly to maintain balanced growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain a neat appearance. Prune any leggy growth to encourage a fuller shape.

      FAQs

      Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.
