✨ Pilea peperomioides, commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant, UFO Plant, or Pancake Plant, is a beloved houseplant admired for its round, coin-shaped leaves and modern, architectural look. Native to southern China, this plant grows on a central upright stem, giving it a distinctive, sculptural silhouette. It’s easy to care for, grows quickly, and often produces baby offshoots (or “pups”) that can be propagated to share with friends—adding to its reputation as a “friendship plant.” With its playful form and minimal fuss, Pilea peperomioides is a favorite for brightening up shelves, desks, and windowsills.

 

🌿 Chinese Money Plant Care Tips

  1. LightBright, indirect light is ideal.Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. If it starts leaning, rotate the plant every few days to keep it growing upright.
  2. WateringWater when the top inch of soil feels dry.Typically, once a week is enough. Pilea doesn’t like soggy soil—make sure your pot has good drainage.
  3. Humidity️ Average indoor humidity is just fine.It can handle drier air, but will appreciate the occasional misting.
  4. SoilUse a well-draining potting mix.A general indoor plant mix with a little perlite or pumice works great to prevent root rot.
  5. Temperature️ Keep in a room between 60–80°F (16–27°C).Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  6. FertilizingFeed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. No feeding needed in winter.
  7. Pruning & Propagation️ Remove yellowing leaves and prune leggy growth if needed.It often produces baby plants (“pups”) around the base—gently separate and pot them up to share or grow your collection!
