Pilea peperomioides aka Chinese Money Plant

With its straightforward care requirements, Chinese Money Plant is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Chinese Money Plant should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Chinese Money Plant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Chinese Money Plant prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it is common for Chinese Money Plant plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Chinese Money Plant is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Chinese Money Plant does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Once the Chinese Money Plant has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Chinese Money Plant’s native range is Worldwide.

If you provide your Chinese Money Plant with adequate amounts of sunlight and water, it will bloom.
