Pilea peperomioides

Description

The ‘Chinese money plant’ has almost perfectly round, coin shaped leaves. Each disk is suspended on a dainty petiole that comes out from the main stem. You can manipulate the way the stem grows by choosing where the light is. A sky light will produce an upright specimen on the Pilea, where as a shelf above a window will force the plant to trickle down.

WATERING

In S/S water when 20% of the top soil has dried out. In A/W allow top soil to dry out 40%.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Bright, indirect.

FEED

Use a house plant fertiliser every month between April – September.

REPOTTING

Repot every year when young, and then only when roots emerge from the drainage holes.
