Pilea peperomioides (Chinese Money Plant)

Pilea peperomioides, commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant, Pancake Plant or UFO Plant, is one of the most recognisable and popular houseplants thanks to its distinctive round leaves and easy-care nature. Native to the Yunnan Province of China, this charming plant has become a favourite among plant enthusiasts for its unique appearance and ability to produce numerous offsets, often referred to as "pups".

Its glossy, coin-shaped leaves are held on long stems, creating an attractive architectural form that suits a wide range of interior styles. Compact, low-maintenance and fast-growing, Pilea peperomioides is ideal for windowsills, desks, shelves and plant displays.

As it matures, the plant develops a thicker stem and produces baby plants around the base, which can be propagated and shared with friends and family.

Plant Care Guide

Light

Pilea peperomioides thrives in bright, indirect light.

  • Position near an east or west-facing window.

  • Bright filtered light encourages compact, healthy growth.

  • Rotate the plant regularly to maintain an even shape.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry between waterings.

  • Water thoroughly when required.

  • Allow excess water to drain away.

  • Avoid leaving the roots sitting in water.

Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.

Humidity

Average household humidity is generally sufficient.

  • Adapts well to typical indoor conditions.

  • Benefits from good airflow around the foliage.

Temperature

Ideal temperatures:

  • 16°C–24°C

Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C.

Soil

Use a free-draining houseplant compost.

A suitable mix may contain:

  • Houseplant compost

  • Perlite

  • Fine orchid bark

Good drainage helps maintain a healthy root system.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.

  • Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.

  • Apply at half strength during active growth.

Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.

Growth Habit

Pilea peperomioides develops an upright growth habit.

  • Produces numerous offsets around the base.

  • Forms a thicker central stem as it matures.

  • Ideal for tabletops, shelves and bright windowsills.

Propagation

One of the easiest houseplants to propagate.

  • Remove offsets once they have developed roots.

  • Pot into fresh compost.

  • Keep lightly moist until established.

Plant Pot Sizes: Pot sizes may vary by approximately +/- 1cm. To ensure a proper fit, we recommend selecting a decorative pot that is 1-2cm larger than the stated plant pot size. For instance, if you purchase a plant in a 17cm pot, a 18 - 19cm decorative pot would be ideal.

Quarantining: All our houseplants are regularly sprayed with a preventative systemic bug treatment. We do our best to ensure a bug free growing environment however sometimes these can unfortunately be missed, as such we always recommend quarantining plants when they first enter your home and checking them upon arrival for bugs.
