Description
An iconic houseplant that transforms displays. The Chinese Money Plant, Pilea peperomioides, delivers instant style with perfectly round, lily pad leaves held on elegant, arching stalks. The effect is sculptural, modern and soothing, so it suits everything from minimal interiors to cosy living spaces.
Compact and upright, it fits neatly on shelves, desks and side tables without dominating, yet it still makes a confident statement. In bright, indirect light it grows quickly, sending out fresh leaves that gently track the sun, giving a sense of movement every time daylight shifts. Rotate the pot a couple of times a week for a balanced, symmetrical plant with leaves radiating in all directions.
Pilea appreciates a bright spot, consistent moisture without waterlogging and a touch of extra humidity. A light mist on dry days keeps those glossy leaves pristine. If you ever notice a little curl, it is usually a sign to offer more light. With that small cue, even beginners can keep it in peak condition.
This variety is a recognised performer. Holding the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it comes with the reassurance that it is reliable, widely available and suitable for homes.
Originating from south western China, it brings a gentle botanical story indoors, and the neat habit means it partners beautifully with other houseplants or stands alone as a clean, contemporary focal point.
Top Tips
- Your Pilea will enjoy a summer holiday outdoors, where it’ll make a great centrepiece for a patio table.
Care Information
- Position in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators.
- Mist regularly to increase humidity.
- The ideal temperature is between 15C and 30C.
- Pilea prefer a bright spot away from the direct sunlight.
- Allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings.
- Feed regularly when you see active growth.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
