Pilea
"Chinese Money Plant"
Description
A cheerful, easy plant with round, coin-shaped leaves on slender stems, giving a floating-lily-pad look. Famous for sprouting baby plants ("pups") generously, making it fun to share. Pet-friendly.
Sun Needs
Bright, indirect light. Rotate regularly so it grows evenly (it leans toward light). Avoid harsh direct sun.
Water Needs
Water when the top inch of soil is dry, about weekly. Let it dry slightly between waterings; droopy leaves can mean either thirst or overwatering, so check the soil.
Repotting Instructions
Repot every 1-2 years in spring. Use well-draining potting mix. Pot up the pups from the soil or stem to propagate and build inventory.
