Pilea Peperemoides

AVAILABLE ONLY FOR LOCAL DELIVERY OPTION AT CHECKOUT -  FROM MELBOURNE CBD.

Have you ever heard of the Pilea peperomioides? It is not unusual if you have not, because this is the Latin name for the Pancake plant or Chinese Moneymaker plant. It is actually an old fashioned plant that has become forgotten over the years and is now well and truly on the rise. And justifiably so! This really is a super lovely plant! This special plant is originally from the Province of Yunnan in China.

A Quirky Gift Idea for Plant Lovers

It also makes a quirky gift idea for extreme plant lovers who proudly put their plants first - the perfect way to surprise your plant-loving friends and family with a gift they’ll genuinely cherish.

How to care:

-Allow the top of the Pilea peperomioides' soil to dry between waterings. Typically, deeply watering this plant once a week will suffice, but it will depend on the amount and quality of light it is receiving. Drooping leaves can be an indication that the plant is in need of water.

- Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides and clean the leaves often so the plant can photosynthesize efficiently.

- This plant prefers a bright, but indirect light source. It will not fare well in low light conditions, and end up droopy.
