Pilea peperomioides – The Iconic Chinese Money Plant
Symbol of Good Fortune and Effortless Style

Invite prosperity and charm into your home with Pilea peperomioides, affectionately known as the Chinese Money Plant or Friendship Plant. This beloved houseplant is instantly recognizable by its round, coin-shaped leaves that sit atop long, slender stems—creating a playful, sculptural silhouette that fits beautifully into any modern or minimalist space.

Native to the forests of southwestern China, this fast-growing, low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light and is perfect for desks, shelves, or gifting. It’s also known for producing "pups" or offshoots, which can be shared—hence its nickname, the Friendship Plant.

Features:

• Unique Round Leaves: The Pilea Peperomioides is instantly recognizable for its nearly perfect round, glossy leaves, often referred to as "pancakes" or "UFOs."

• Prolific Growth: This plant is a prolific grower, producing numerous baby plants (also called "pups") that sprout from its base. These pups can be easily propagated and shared with friends and family, hence the nickname "Friendship Plant."

• Easy Care: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It prefers to dry out slightly between waterings, making it perfect for those who tend to forget to water their plants.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
