Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides)

Round leaves on slender stems make the Chinese Money Plant a distinctive choice for a bright desk or small indoor space. Plant shape, fullness, color and height naturally vary. Product photos illustrate the variety; the individual plant you receive will differ.

Plant details and care

• Botanical name: Pilea peperomioides.
• Best light: Bright indirect light; rotate occasionally for balanced growth.
• Watering: Let the upper mix dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain. Avoid waiting for repeated wilting.
• Care difficulty: Beginner to intermediate; a good match for someone who checks soil moisture.
• Pets: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Non-toxic does not mean edible; discourage chewing.

What you are ordering

Pot size: Select from the listed 3", 4", 6" pot options; availability varies by size. Inch measurements describe the pot, not the plant's height.

Planter inclusion: A Nursery Pot option does not include a separate decorative planter. Other pot options include only the pot style named in your selected variant.

Arrival height: A fixed arrival-height range is not specified for this listing. Height varies with the size selected and the current growing batch. Ask us before ordering if you need a plant to fit a particular shelf or space.

Is this the same as a Money Tree?

No. Pilea peperomioides has round leaves and a smaller footprint; the braided Money Tree is Pachira aquatica.
