Chinese money plant
A nice name for a nice plant. The Chinese money plant got its name from the coin-shaped leaves on its long, thin stems.
The plant is very easy to care for. A light spot is the best place for it, but it also thrives in the shade or partial shade. Keep the potting soil moist by watering it once per week.
A nice addition to any room!

Specifications
Planting
- Decorative pot
- Potting soil (optional)
- Hydrograins (optional)
The Pilea is provided in a nursery pot. Once it arrives, place the Pilea and its nursery pot into a flower pot. Give it water right away and set the plant in a warm, bright location (no full sun).
How do I plant the Pilea in a pot without the nursery pot?
If you would like the Pilea to grow even more, you can place it directly into a decorative pot.
- Choose a pot that is at least 20% larger than the nursery pot.
- Cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of hydrograins and fill it with potting soil.
- Carefully remove the plant from the nursery pot.
- Plant the Pilea in the centre of the decorative pot and make sure that the root ball of the plant is about 1 to 2 cm below the edge.
- Fill the pot with fresh potting soil and press it lightly.
- Give it water right away and set the plant in a warm, bright location (no full sun).
Care
- Watering can
- Plant sprayer
The Pilea is an incredibly low-maintenance, indoor plant. Water it once a week and give it plant food once every two weeks. The Pilea doesn’t like to be soaking wet, so it’s better to skip a round of watering than to water it again when the soil is still moist. It also thrives in high humidity.
Extra
Pilea is actually a member of the stinging nettle (Urticaceae) family and is a well-known plant for its unusually decorative foliage.
The small leaved varieties will also thrive in a terrarium and look very beautiful.
