Pilea Peperomioides 8 in tall Small Mid-Century Ceramic

An adorably quirky plant that only recently started appearing on the shelves of retail shops, the Pilea Peperomiodes or Chinese Money Plant is known for its unique, coin-like foliage and ease of propagation, thus earning itself the nickname of “the friendship plant.”

Note: this plant is highly susceptible to extreme temperatures. It is carefully wrapped and protected for transit, though may arrive with a few unhappy stems which can be safely trimmed. An incredibly hardy and fast growing plant, new growth may begin to appear in as little as just a few weeks.

The Pilea plant is not only unique in its appearance. Hailing from Himalyan China, this plant is said to have originally been brought to Europe by a Norweigan missionary. Constantly sprouting “pups” (baby plants) from the soil surrounding its main stalk, the Pilea was propagated and passed along from friend to friend. As such, the plant was rarely sold commercially and, for many years, considered a rarity in many places of the Western world.

Guide d'entretien

The thick leaves of the Pilea can accumulate dust over time, so don't be afraid to rinse them under the sink when watering, or gently wipe away dust with a wet cloth once every few weeks. This also helps the plant photosynthesize more efficiently.
