Pilea peperomioides, commonly called the Chinese money plant or pancake plant, is a compact, easy-care houseplant prized for its round, glossy coin-shaped leaves and architectural, umbrella-like growth habit; it thrives in bright, indirect light, prefers well-draining soil, and benefits from moderate watering—allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings—to avoid root rot. Native to southwestern China, Pilea produces upright stems with alternating petioles that give young plants a charming, sculptural silhouette and readily produces pups at the base or along stems, making it an ideal plant for propagation and sharing. It enjoys average indoor temperatures (65–75°F) and moderate humidity, responds well to occasional feeding during the growing season, and appreciates rotation for even growth; pests are uncommon but watch for mealybugs and spider mites. With its playful form and low-maintenance nature, Pilea peperomio
