CHINESE MONEY PLANT

Caring for a Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides) involves ensuring the right balance of light, water, temperature, humidity, and nutrients. Here are detailed care instructions:

Sunlight

  • Bright, Indirect Light: Place your Chinese Money Plant in a spot where it will receive plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
  • Rotate Regularly: To maintain an even shape, rotate the plant every week or so to ensure all sides get light.

Watering

  • Moderate Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the pot has good drainage.
  • Water Thoroughly: When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Empty the saucer beneath the pot to prevent the plant from sitting in water.

Humidity

  • Humidity: The Chinese Money Plant prefers moderate humidity. If your home is very dry, consider placing the pot on a tray with pebbles and water or using a humidifier.

Temperature

  • Ideal Temperature: Keep the plant in a room with temperatures between15-24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
