Pilea Peperomioides AKA: Chinese Money Plant, Coin Plant… Among the trendiest houseplants, the Chinese money plant is adored for its unique appearance. The round, coin-sized leaves are thick and glossy. Each leaf is attached to the crown of the plant by a petiole (leaf stem) that connects directly to the leaf underside, giving it a very unique appearance. Light: Pilea peperomioides is a low maintenance species that thrives in a bright spot near a window, but it is best to keep the plant out of direct sunlight as too much direct sun can cause the leaves to burn Water: Pilea enjoys weekly watering sessions, but ensure you allow its soil to completely dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. During the winter months feel free to only water fortnightly.
