Pilea Peperomioides

The Pilea Peperomioides, affectionately known as the Chinese Money Plant, is a darling of the houseplant world, instantly recognizable for its charming, distinctively round, pancake-shaped leaves that sit atop slender, central stems. This highly social and sought-after plant boasts a unique, playful aesthetic that earned it its popularity on social media, adding a touch of whimsy and clean, modern style to small desks, shelves, or windowsills. The Pilea is known for being an enthusiastic grower and easily produces small “pups” (baby plants) from its soil, making it perfect for propagation and sharing its good fortune with friends, while remaining generally easy to care for in bright, indirect light.
