Pilea Peperomioides Care Guide

The Chinese Money Plant loves soaking up a little bit of sunshine, but not too much. Position your plant near a bright window and it’ll be happy.

Water your plant approximately once a week but check that the soil’s dry to touch before watering. You can do this by pushing your thumb an inch into the soil. If it’s damp, leave it a few more days as Chinese Money Plants don’t like soggy soil.

Wipe the leaves frequently with a damp cloth to remove dust. This ensures the leaves get all the light they need, enabling them to grow and flourish.

This plant is considered non-toxic, so there’s no need to keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Be careful not to let your plant sit in direct sunlight, particularly during the summer months. It would be such a shame to scorch the gorgeous leaves. Low light levels however can cause the plant to grow tall and leggy, so try to find a happy medium.

While a few yellow leaves are normal as the plant ages, leaves that suddenly turn yellow or fall off indicate that you’ve overwatered your plant. Gently pull off any yellowing leaves close to the soil and drain the plant of any excess water. Be careful not to let the soil become bone dry before watering either.
