Plant Description
Description
Pilea peperomioides, commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant, is a compact, easy-care houseplant loved for its round, coin-shaped leaves and playful upright growth. It produces plenty of baby plants (pups), making it one of the easiest houseplants to propagate and share with friends.

JOE'S TOP TIP
Rotate the pot every week to encourage even growth. Without regular turning, the leaves will naturally lean towards the light.
COMMON MISTAKE
Most people struggle with this plant by overwatering or keeping it in very low light, which leads to weak stems and slower growth.
