Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light

![]()
Watering Schedule
Weekly watering
Weekly, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. In winter, we recommend watering less frequently to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Humidity
No humidity requirements
No particular humidity requirements - but can suffer in very dry environments. Misting daily can help remedy this, as well as clustering your plants.

Plant bio
Pilea Peperomioides, Pancake Plant
The Chinese Money Plant originates from the Himalayan region of China and is a species of flowering plant in the nettle family Urticaceae. In its native habitat this round-leaved wonder grows on shady and damp rocks in forests, so it doesn’t enjoy scorching direct sunlight. Be sure to water weekly, but let soil dry out between watering sessions to prevent root rot. A symbol of abundance and good fortune in Chinese culture due to its shiny, coin-shaped leaves, this funky fellow also goes by the names of Pancake Plant and UFO Plant. Whether this auspicious houseplant brings you wealth or not, the Chinese Money Plant sure is a punchy air-purifier who will help keep toxins at bay in your home.
