Product description
Pilea peperomioides, commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant is a popular houseplant in the UK. In Asia, it's well known for bringing good fortune to the person to whom the plant is given making it a very popular gift!
Unlike other plants, Pilea peperomioides' distinctive appearance sets it apart from the crowd. Its round, coin-shaped leaves, resembling tiny green pancakes, are attached to long, slender stems that elegantly arch upwards. This unique growth habit creates a mesmerising visual effect, making it a true statement piece in any room.
Caring for Pilea peperomioides is also easy - bright indirect light and not too much water. When it does come to re-potting it (check for roots coming out of the bottom), use Soil Ninja Ficus Blend - see this link.
Note: sometimes these plants have markings on the bottom of the leaves. This is plant food that has crystallised and is totally safe but just worth mentioning.
