Chinese Money Plant - pilea peperomioides in 10-12cm Pot

• Nicknamed: Pilea peperomioides; Pancake plant; UFO plant; Pass it on plant
• Chinese money plant is easygoing when it comes to water. She’ll only need a drink when you can feel her soil is dry to the touch.
• It loves a spot with lots of light. She’s not keen on harsh direct sunlight so place her slightly away from windows.
• Your plant will arrive in a brown nursery pot, which has holes for drainage. Decorative pots are sold separately. There's no need to remove the plant from the nursery pot. Just pop the whole thing in a decorative pot.
• flat leaves, which can grow as big as 15cm across, have earned it other nicknames, from UFO plant to pancake plant. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s an excellent house guest. A bright place to live and water when it’s dry are all it asks (by the way, don't worry when it loses its lower leaves as it grows - it's totally normal).
• Perfect gift idea for best friend, housewarming present.

Native to the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces of southern China, the Chinese money plant was first brought to the UK in 1906 by Scottish botanist George Forrest (yes, we know the exact man who found it). It became a popular houseplant later in the 20th century because it is simple to grow and really easy to propagate, meaning friends could pass cuttings around amongst themselves. That earned it the nickname ‘pass it on plant’.
