About the Pilea Peperomioides

Pilea peperomioides, the Chinese money plant, trades harsh lines for round, glossy discs that lift a workspace in seconds. Pippa thrives in bright, indirect light, turning her cheerful leaves toward your day; water when the top layer dries and drain well—moist, never soggy.

A light, well‑draining mix keeps roots buoyant and growth steady. Rotate monthly for symmetry, dust the leaves, and snip pups to share. We ship her secure so she arrives fresh, healthy, and intact—ready to sit on a desk, shelf, or windowsill and get to work right away.

Did you know?

Pilea readily produces “pups” from underground runners. Separate and pot them, and one plant quickly becomes a small forest—perfect for office gifts or a greener home desk setup.

Why the home office?

This plant is perfect for the home office because it brings instant cheer and calm with minimal effort. Her glossy coins brighten your desk while subtly freshening the air. Pet‑friendly, generous with pups, and low‑maintenance—Pippa was made for momentum.

Position: Tabletop

Place Pippa on a Tabletop or shelf near bright, indirect light—by a sheer‑curtained window works well. Give room for her discs to fan and keep away from radiators and AC blasts. Rotate weekly for symmetry. Pet friendly, so ideal for lively, lived‑in workspaces with curious companions. Small footprint, big charm—she’s a natural desk mate.

Growth Habit: Clumping

Plants that grow into a compact thicket or mound.

Soil: Well-Draining

Choose a well‑draining mix to keep roots airy yet evenly moist. Blend premium potting soil with chunky perlite and a little coco coir; fine bark adds structure. Avoid dense, waterlogged blends. Water through, then reset—damp, never dense. This breathable structure keeps leaves glossy, stems sturdy, and new pups popping all year indoors.

Propagation: Plantlets and Offsets

Propagate by PLANTLETS + OFFSETS. When pups reach 5–7 cm with their own roots, cut cleanly at the base with sterile tools. Pot into fresh, well‑draining mix, water to settle, and keep bright‑indirect and lightly moist for two weeks. Leaf or stem cuttings are unreliable—go for rooted pups for near‑certain success.

Bright, Indirect

Bright, indirect light is ideal; avoid intense midday sun that spots leaves. Water when the top layer dries, then drain. A north or east window a metre back delivers balanced growth and neat discs.

Moderate

Give moderate watering: let the top 2–3 cm dry, then water thoroughly and drain. Weekly in growth, less in winter. Use room‑temperature water and avoid soggy crowns to prevent stem softening.

Novice

Bright, indirect light, moderate watering, and a well‑draining mix keep Pippa happy. Let the top layer dry, then drain fully. Rotate monthly for symmetry and harvest pups to share.

Low

Pippa prefers low to medium humidity and steady warmth. No misting required; typical indoor air is fine. Group plants or use a pebble tray in heated rooms if edges crisp, but she’s generally unfazed.

Toxicity

Pet Friendly: Perfectly safe for pets (and their owners).
