Pilea Peperomioides | Chinese Money Plant
☀️ - Moderate to bright, indirect light but will tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight.
💧 - Treat her like a succulent. Water when the soil has begun to dry out. The leaves will begin to droop if the plant needs to be watered. Don’t let the plant sit in water.
🌡️ - Average to warm temperatures from 16-24°C but can cope with as low as 10°C but prefers high humidity.

Nicknamed Missionary Plant or Pass-It-On-Plant from the 1940s. Now once again contemporary, chic and very on trend with a minimalistic urban appeal. Pilea has long stems with smooth pancake-like leaves with a mid-green colour. This is a delightful little succulent and so easy to care for.
Please note: the stems on the Pilea are very fragile and despite our best efforts, some may snap during transit.
George Forrest was the first westerner to collect Pilea peperomioides, in 1906 and again in 1910, in the Cang Mountain range in Yunnan Provinces. In 1945, the species was found by Norwegian missionary Agnar Espegren in Yunnan Province when he was fleeing from Hunan Province. Espegren took cuttings with him back to Norway, by way of India, in 1946 and from there it was spread throughout Scandinavia.
Size: 13cm nursery pot.
