Description: Pilea Peperomioides,Chinese Money Plant, UFO Plant ,Lefsi Plant- The Chinese money plant, also known as the missionary plant, lefse plant, pancake plant, UFO plant or just pilea (short for its scientific name of Pilea peperomioides) is originally from the southwestern Yunnan province of China. Popular lore maintains that a Norwegian missionary, Agnar Espegren, took cuttings home with him in the 1940s, and shared them with friends and family. Those plants were spread throughout Scandinavia, and eventually the world, as people passed cutting between friends. Where to Grow Light-wise, the best situation for a Chinese money plant is bright light, with no direct sunlight. Direct sun scorches leaves, and light shade may encourage larger leaves. They're said to be hardy down to freezing, and a period of cool temperatures will make them more likely to produce their tiny white flowers on pink stems. Care and Maintenance The Chinese money plant prefers a well-draining potting soil, and a pot with drainage holes is necessary. The soil needs to mostly dry out between waterings, with more watering required in warmer, sunnier weather. If the leaves start to look slightly droopy, that's a sign that the plant needs water. To keep your Chinese money plant nicely shaped, rotate it at least once a week to prevent it from getting lopsided. The large leaves tend to accumulate dust, so these plants benefit from regular showers, or at least wiping down of their leaves. Treat monthly with an all-purpose plant fertilizer during the spring and summer growing seasons. You may also want to put your plant outdoors as temperatures warm, but, again, take care to keep it out of direct sunlight. ✳✳✳✳✳✳✳ This plant will be ship in 4" nursery pot if you like to add one of our beautiful terra cotta pot please not that they are listed separately ✳✳✳✳✳✳✳✳ *The plant that you will receive will look similar to the one in the pictures.* We only ship out beautiful, healthy plants.
