Pilea Peperomoides 10" Hb

The Pilea Peperomioides, also known as the Chinese Money Plant, is a popular houseplant admired for its unique, round, coin-shaped leaves that create a striking, modern look. An interesting characteristic of the Pilea Peperomioides is its ability to produce "pups" or small offshoots, which can be propagated easily, making it a favorite among plant enthusiasts for sharing and gifting.

In a hanging basket, the Pilea Peperomioides typically grows to a height of 12 to 15 inches and a spread of about 12 inches, with cascading stems that add visual interest. It thrives in bright, indirect light and should be protected from direct, harsh sunlight. In southern Louisiana, the plant should be kept indoors or in a protected area, as it is not frost-tolerant and prefers temperatures above 50°F. Pilea Peperomioides requires well-drained soil and moderate watering; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot.
