About the Pilea (Chinese Money Plant)

  • Properties

    The Pilea is a strong and low-maintenance plant, ideal for beginners. It grows relatively quickly and often produces small cuttings (baby plants), which you can easily propagate. The round leaves give the plant a unique and playful character. In addition, the Pilea takes up little space, making it suitable for almost any spot in the house.

  • Care

    The Pilea likes a bright spot, but not direct strong sunlight. Rotate the plant regularly so that it continues to grow beautifully straight. Water moderately and allow the top layer of the potting soil to dry out in between waterings. Make sure that excess water can drain well. Occasional plant food during the growing season helps keep the plant healthy.
