Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) Iconic Round Leaf Style

Chinese Money Plant – Iconic Round Leaf Style

The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) is one of the most popular houseplants around, celebrated for its coin-shaped leaves and minimalist charm. Native to Southern China, it was traditionally grown in homes and exchanged as a gift to symbolise good fortune, prosperity, and abundance. Its spread to Europe in the mid-20th century only strengthened its reputation as a plant that brings wealth and joy.

Easy to care for and rewarding to grow, the Chinese Money Plant thrives in bright light and regularly produces baby plants (“pups”) that can be repotted and shared with friends — a true plant of generosity as well as beauty. With its sculptural form and glossy foliage, it makes a striking addition to any modern home.

Choosing the Right Decorative Pot
To give your plant the perfect fit, you’ll need to select a decorative pot separately. As a general rule, go one size up from the nursery pot. For example, if your plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot, choose a decorative pot with an internal diameter of around 13–14cm for the best fit.
