Chinese Money Plant 〰️ Care Guide

 POSITION / LIGHT: Thrives in bright, indirect light. A little morning sun is fine, but harsh direct sunlight can scorch those round leaves. Rotate it regularly to keep the shape even, as it tends to lean toward the light.

  WATERING: Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry. Pileas like a consistent routine but hate soggy soil—make sure your pot has good drainage.

  TEMPERATURE: Loves warm indoor temps between 18–26°C. Avoid cold drafts and super dry air (hello, heater season!).

  FERTILISER: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Regular feeding helps boost leaf colour and fullness.

  GROWTH RATE: Moderate. With the right light and care, it grows steadily and produces pups that can be potted up or shared with friends.

  PET FRIENDLY? Yes! The Chinese Money Plant is non-toxic to pets and people—so it’s safe for every member of the household.
