Chinese Money Plant
Pilea Peperomioides
The many-named lucky charm that’s supposed to attract money (even though it’s never paid a bill): sometimes malabar chestnut, sometimes guiana chestnut or pachira, this hardy species survives almost anything while allegedly bringing prosperity. Good luck with that.
Growth: Fast and compact, 5-10 cm per year, with metallic-silver, shiny round leaves.
Fun Facts: Not an air purifier, but easygoing. It happily multiplies – share its offspring with new homes.
Toxicity: Non-toxic. May cause mild stomach upset if eaten in large quantities. But seriously, why would you eat a lot of it? What’s wrong with you?
Broke beginners and pet owners.
East- or north-facing windows are ideal. Partial shade with indirect light works well – shelves or tables in moderately bright rooms are also suitable.
Approximate Height: 15 cm
Pot diameter: 11 cm
