6″ Pilea Peperomioides

Pilea peperomioides, also known as the Chinese money plant or pancake plant, is a trendy and easy-to-care-for houseplant. Here’s a short and simple care guide:

1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity: Adapts well to normal household humidity levels. Mist occasionally if the air is very dry.

4. Temperature: Average room temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C) are ideal. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend for succulents or cacti works well.

6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in winter.

7. Propagation: Easily propagated from offshoots or stem cuttings placed in soil or water.

8. Pruning: Trim leggy growth to maintain a compact shape.

By following these simple care tips, you can keep your Pilea peperomioides healthy and thriving in your home.
