The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea Peperomoides) is one of the most popular houseplants for beginners. Thanks to its round, mint-green leaves, it instantly adds ambiance and freshness to any interior. This easy-to-grow green wonder feels right at home in your living room, kitchen, or office and requires no complicated care. Discover how easy it is to grow your own Chinese Money Plant with the comprehensive care tips from De Plantrekkers.

How to care for a Money Plant (Pilea Peperomoides)

Watering the Money Plant (Pilea Peperomoides)

The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea Peperomoides) prefers even watering, without its roots constantly standing in water. Water regularly, but ensure the top layer of potting soil dries slightly between waterings. Overwatering often leads to brown spots, so it's best to use a watering can like the Elho 1.5L watering can for controlled water flow. Also, browse our collection of potting soil and accessories to give your plant the right foundation.

Light Pancake Plant (Pilea Peperomoides)

Ideally, place your Pilea in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the thin leaves, while too little light stunts growth and makes branches lanky. A bright east- or west-facing windowsill is ideal. Feel free to combine your Pilea with other shade plants from our selection, such as the Scindipsis Pictus or the Monstera Minima, for a green eye-catcher.

Common problems with the Money Plant (Pilea Peperomoides)

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or insufficient light. First, check the soil's moisture and adjust your watering. Move your plant to a brighter spot if it's too dark. Read more about root rot in our blog post about what to do about root rot in your houseplants.

Plant dripping

A dripping pancake plant can indicate overwatering or blocked drainage. Ensure excess water can drain properly by using a pot with drainage holes and adding hydroponic clays to the potting mix. Allow the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings to prevent problems.

Plagues

Spider mites and aphids are the most common pests affecting Pileas. Regularly inspect the undersides of leaves and, if an infestation first appears, use natural control with our Jungle Mist Spray. For persistent infestations, you can use sticky traps for fungus gnats or a mild insecticide like Plant Life Support.

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When the roots grow out of the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Use a slightly larger pot from our collection of pots for houseplants and fresh potting soil for aroids. This will give your Chinese Money plant room to grow and produce fresh new leaves.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges usually result from overly dry air or insufficient watering. Increase humidity by placing a plant sprayer or moss moss nearby. Regular leaf care with a microfiber dusting mitt keeps the leaves clean and healthy.

Great edger for home use
This WORX 12 Amp Electric Lawn Edger did exactly what I needed it to do. It was easy to use, had plenty of power for cleaning up the edges around my driveway and sidewalk, and gave the yard a much cleaner, finished look. I like that it is corded because I do not have to worry about batteries dying, and it has enough power for regular homeowner use. The first pass took a little extra time since the edges needed cleaned up, but once I got going, it worked great. Overall, this is a solid edger/trencher for the price, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting cleaner lawn edges without dealing with gas.

Does the job!
Puts in the work! Knocked out my driveway no problem. Unsure about longevity but it’s great for a homeowner. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Adjustment is nice along with the guide plate.

Takes The Edge Off!
This is a decent product. If you are going to do a lot of edging, or want to do deep trenching to run conduit, etc. this is NOT the product you want. It is electric, so you are tethered to an outlet, and of course, the farther you go on extension cords, the less of the 12 amp juice you get. It also trenches to 1 1/2", which is OK, but not enough to dump conduit, etc. That said, this is a very good edger. Out of the box, it is minimal assembly. You connect the three pieces of the shaft, removing some edge tape from it, and inserting two metal bolts and plastic knobs, similar to most lawn mowers these days. Then you install the plastic handle with another bolt. That's it. For use, you have a lever which you pull up for edging and lower for trenching to adjust the group clearance. You also choose 1", 1/4", or 1 1/2" depth. Then you plug it in. There is a white line on top of the blade cover so you know where the blade is. You just pull the trigger to run the blade, or release the trigger to stop the blade. Be careful not to lose sight of your electric cord so you don't hit it! I edged along my driveway, about 50' on each side, as well as my front of my lawn, so another 85' along the lawn and the apron (both sides). That's over 350'. It cut through the grass and dirt easily. It struggled a couple of times, on some tough mounds of grass, but like any other tool, you don't force it when that happens, just back up and do that area again slowly. If you come too close to blacktop, Belgian block, stone, etc. you will see sparks so you will know. Just keep in mind, this is an edger. You will be left with the severed grass/sod to remove. In my case I was loooong overdue for a edging, so I spent a long time scraping the sod off the pavement with a shovel. I expect with more frequent ending, and now working with a cleaner edge, this will be less of an issue. Either way, that is not on the product, but the state of the lawn. The edger has 2 read wheels and one smaller front wheel so , although this is not like a big, gas-powered curb jumping unit, you have the option of attacking a curb edge from either the blade side or other side of the edger, so you can get real close to a Belgian block curb. I also did the edge where my grass meets my mulched flower bed, but that was more of a trimming than a edge removal. Overall, the Work edger did as good, or better, a job than my string trimmer, and I didn't have to stop every few minutes to rewrap string. Plus it trenched enough to give me a definitive edge, whereas the string edger just cuts into the grass, not a real trench.

Easy to use for a clean looking cut!
I do wish there was a cordless version but I'm so glad I bought this. It took some time to edge everything the first time because I had to cut the lines but it's been a breeze ever since. I just walk the perimeter of the yard and driveway and it does it's job with ease. The front wheel has three settings which determines how far down the blade cuts and the blade has two settings for edging or trenching. The handle is stationary but it can be lifted up or down. There's a guideline on top of the blade guard that helps identify where the blade is going to make the cut. TIP: Lean it back on the back wheels before pulling the trigger and slowly bring it down because it will jump if the blade isn't lined up and touches the concrete. It doesn't roll well in the grass but it's very smooth when rolled on the concrete. It's definitely worth having to give a clean and finished look. It's well built and isn't too heavy but definitely has some weight to it. It's only loud when the blade hits the concrete otherwise it sounds like a drone. The only complaint I have is that I have to watch the cord closely other than that it's the perfect tool to give a clean look to the yard.

Great product for the $$$$
This edger is awesome. Easy to put together. Intuitive. I put it together inside of 10 minutes. Shifted the edger "guide" down, and went to work. This corded electric model is WAYYY cheaper than the battery powered (or gas powered) models, and is absolutely up to the task. Lightweight and maneuverable. Quiet. Easy to store. The motor got a little "bound" when I tried to edge too fast, but the manual had clearly warned me on this - to back up, let the blade get back up to speed, and then edge again. The lawn edges are now straight, well-defined, and immaculate.
