The Pilea is an easy to care for plant that's well known for being easy to propagate to share with others. Here's what you need to know to grow one in your home!

Chinese Money plants don't like direct sunlight - they prefer bright indirect light. Have them near a sunny window (south or west is best) but be sure that the light they're getting is filtered.

Like most plants you should water your Pilea about 1 to 2 weeks. This depends on a few things (climate, type of pot - plants in terracotta pots typically dry out quicker than plastic pots) so keep an eye on your plant.
In most cases, Pileas need to be watered more during the summer months (or their growing season) and less in the winter (or their dormant season).

Pilea plants hate to be over wet so pick a well-draining and quick drying soil. Choosing something with peat moss or coir fiber is a great idea.
