Pilea peperomioides, known widely as the Chinese Money Plant or pancake plant, is one of the most recognisable and easy-going houseplants available. Its perfectly round, coin-shaped leaves are held on long, upright petioles that radiate outward from a central stem, giving the plant a clean, architectural quality that suits almost any interior. It is fast-growing in good conditions, produces regular offsets that can be potted on and passed on, and tolerates a range of indoor conditions with minimal fuss. Cheerful in appearance, generous in growth, and straightforward to care for and known as lucky in many cultures.

Origins
Pilea peperomioides is native to the rocky, forested slopes of Yunnan province in south-western China, where it grows in sheltered understorey conditions with good light and well-drained, humus-rich soils. 

Soil and Substrate
Pilea peperomioides prefers a well-draining substrate that holds some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Its roots are relatively fine and dislike sitting in wet soil for extended periods. Our Simply Houseplant Tropical Potting Mix is well-suited to it.
