☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Chinese Money Plant prefers a spot with bright, but indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can cause slow growth and fewer leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal.
? Water
??▫️ (Medium)
Water your Pilea when the top inch of soil feels dry. It’s important to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Water from the bottom to encourage strong root growth, which helps overall health and stability of your plant.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Pilea Peperomioides thrives in typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes which can stress the plant.
? Humidity
??▫️ (Moderate)
This plant does well in a medium to high humidity environment. If your home is on the dry side, occasional misting or a pebble tray can help increase humidity around your plant.
? Repotting
Generally, repotting every couple of years is a good idea to give your Pilea fresh soil and more room to grow. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one and has good drainage.
? Pet Friendliness
Great news for pet owners: the Chinese Money Plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs. You can place this plant anywhere in your home without worrying about your furry friends.
? Recommended Locations at Home
This charming plant fits well in spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where there is natural, indirect light. It’s also a great addition to shelves and desks due to its compact size.
? Air Purifying
While all plants can help clean the air to some extent by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, the Chinese Money Plant is not specifically known for its air-purifying qualities compared to other houseplants.
✨ Other Plant Features
