chinese money plant 25cm
Nowadays, the Chinese money plant is very popular for plant lovers. Call it how you want: the Pilea Peperomioides, pancake plant, UFO plant, Lefse plant or Missionary plant (a beautiful plant deserves a lot of names! Don't you think?).
Where once this pancake plant was quite difficult to obtain, today it is found in more and more homes. This plant is known for its vintage and retro feel it gives to any home. This Pilea Peperomioides is 25 centimetres high and it has shiny, leathery, thick dark green leaves that balance on the long, thin red stems. The longer the stems, the more they will twist. For us it is a fascinating plant, what do you think?

care tips
If you have bought a Pilea it is a question of finding a good place in your house, put the plant in a place with enough light, but never directly in the sun. When the sun shines too much, the leaves can get wrinkled and the plant will turn yellow. Turn the plant over from time to time, so that it does not grow crookedly, because the leaves grow towards the light.
The Chinese Money plant is easy to water. The soil should not be too wet, but not too dry either. (Sounds logical, doesn't it?) Just water it once a week. That is if the plant prefers to be watered regularly, so that the soil remains slightly moist. This way you will enjoy your Pilea Peperomioides for years and years to come.
