Pilea peperomioides, Chinese Money Plant, Friendship Plant

Native to the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces in Southern China, the Pilea Peperomioides, also known as the Chinese Money Plant, is cherished for its vibrant, round leaves and easy propagation. Often referred to as the “Friendship Plant,” it’s known for producing offsets, or “pups,” around the base, making it a delightful plant to share with friends and loved ones.

The Pilea is an ideal choice for Kokedama, an ancient Japanese planting style where the plant is nestled in a moss ball. These living planters offer a unique, minimalist aesthetic. The Pilea thrives in bright, indirect light and requires moderate watering, making it a low-maintenance option for those looking to add a touch of nature to their space.

Kokedama plants come with either a Tray for Basic Planter, Grey Patina or Tray for Basic Planter, White Patina. They also pair well with our Wrought Iron Planter Stand in Small, sold separately here as well as our Granite Stands and Goblet Terra Cotta Planters.

Please note that the plant you receive may be smaller and less mature than the one pictured, but it will be ready to grow and thrive in its new home.
