Pilea (Chinese Money Plant), a round‑leaved houseplant prized for its coin‑shaped glossy leaves and sculptural form. Height and spread suit a 20 cm pot with a 12 cm internal diameter — ideal for desks, shelves or small side tables.

Light

Bright, indirect light. Tolerates lower light but will grow more slowly and produce smaller leaves. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch. A spot with filtered light near a window is ideal.

Water

Moderate — allow the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of compost/soil to dry between waterings. Avoid waterlogging and standing water to prevent root rot.

Fertilising

Fertilise lightly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.
