🌿 Pilea peperomioides (Chinese Money Plant) – Charming & Easy-Care Houseplant
Description
The Pilea peperomioides, affectionately called the Chinese Money Plant or Friendship Plant, is a delightful, easy-to-care-for houseplant known for its whimsical, coin-shaped leaves. Each lily pad-like leaf is perched atop a slender, upright stem that gently sways in the breeze. At the point where the stem meets the leaf, you’ll notice a small pale green or white dot—a charming natural detail unique to this species.
Native to the Yunnan Province of Southern China, this plant has earned its “friendship” nickname because it’s so easy to propagate and share with friends. Its modern, minimalistic look makes it perfect for brightening desktops, shelves, and windowsills.
