The ever-popular Pilea peperomioides, also known as the Chinese Money Plant, UFO plant or Friendship plant, is a beautiful addition to your plant collection with its unique round leaves. One of the best features of this plant is that it is incredibly easy to propagate! It produces 'pups' - miniature plants that can be separated from the parent plant and grown on their own.

The Pilea peperomioides is very easy to care for. Make sure it receives plenty of bright light, making sure the sun doesn't directly hit the leaves when it's at its strongest.
Keep the soil fairly moist, but never soggy by always allowing at least the top 30% of soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
