| Pilea peperomioides |
This odd little plant, native to Western China and brought to Europe by a Swedish Missionary in 1946, is the Chinese Money plant, its latin name is Pilea Peperomioides.
The Chinese Money Plant is an ideal houseplant as it is pretty undemanding, fast growing and leafy all year round. Like the Maidenhair Fern in my last houseplant post, the Chinese Money Plant does not like direct sunlight and in fact shade will encourage larger leaves...

Thank you sooooo much for posting about this plant!! I was going nuts when I saw this in the photos for the wonderful home of Wilbert because there was no mention of it's name. It's is so beautiful, I will definitely be adding one to my collection of house plants! Thanks again,
Carmen
ps i love your blog! Thanks for that too. :)
yes, that's the one! My brother said the plant he got the cutting from was huge. I love the photos of the full size ones. Mine is growing like mad now I repotted it.
Oh, looks like the pictures are from a swedish home :) great blog! greetings from sweden
Thank you! I too had been wondering the name of this plant!
I think I need one, or two, or .... of these! Minerva ~
I have one of these at home and I love it. I was wondering if anyone knows how to propagate them. Is it just through a simple leaf cutting? My only has one central stem and I don't want to cut the stem because I'm afraid I'll kill it.
So, it can be grown on supports to give this tall look. 👌👍
