Pilea Peperomioides Plant, Chinese Money Plant in 4 Inc Pot, House Plant for Gardening Outdoors Indoors

Chinese money plant (Pilea peperomioides), often called the friendship plant, coin plant, or UFO plant, is popular thanks to its attractive coin-shaped foliage and ease of care. It is grown primarily for its unique foliage and does not often flower indoors. This perennial is a low-maintenance, air-purifying option that's also pet-safe. Chinese money plants are easy to propagate and share with friends, hence the name "friendship plant." With proper lighting, it can double in size within a year.

• ‌Light: Provide medium-to-bright, indirect light for your Chinese money plant. An east- or west-facing window may be ideal. Rotate your plant regularly to keep it looking symmetrical.
• Soil: Plant Chinese money plant in rich, well-draining soil, and amend the soil with perlite to increase drainage and ensure the soil does not become waterlogged. A high-quality organic potting mix that is peat-based or coir-based is best. A soil pH between 6.0-7.0 is ideal for this plant.
• Water: Chinese money plant is considered to have medium water needs. Allow the plant to nearly dry out between waterings and then water well. The leaves will begin to droop when it dries out, which is a good indication that it’s time for watering
• Temperature and Humidity: The average household temperature and humidity are fine for this plant. Where possible, avoid overly dry conditions, which usually means keeping the plant away from heating vents or baseboards. The Chinese money plant is hardy to freezing temperatures, but when kept indoors avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F. However, a short period of cold exposure in the winter months may help to encourage blooming.
