The Chinese Money Plant, known as Pilea peperomioides, is one of the most beloved houseplants in the world, admired for its coin-shaped leaves, minimalist look, and ease of care. Often seen gracing modern interiors and Instagram feeds, this quirky plant brings a charming architectural quality to any space.  

Traditionally, the Chinese Money Plant is believed to bring prosperity, good fortune, and financial abundance, which is why it’s often given as a gift. This plant goes by many names, including the UFO Plant, Pancake Plant, Missionary Plant, and simply the Money Plant (not to be confused with Crassula ovata or Epipremnum aureum).  

According to feng shui, the Chinese Money Plant is more than just a decorative addition, it's considered a symbol of prosperity and good luck.

The round, shiny leaves resemble coins, making it a go-to plant for those hoping to attract wealth and positive energy into their homes or offices.

To bring prosperity and good luck into your life, feng shui practice suggests placing the plant in the southeast corner of your living space, which is associated with wealth and abundance.

It’s also popular to give the plant as a gift, especially when it has produced “pups” or offsets, which are thought to spread fortune when shared. 

The plant grows in a mounded shape and stays compact, typically reaching a mature size of about 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide.

It can grow to double its size in a year with proper lighting. Its symmetry and upright growth habit make it perfect for shelves, desks, or as a tabletop focal point. 

Native to the mountainous regions of Yunnan Province in southern China, the Chinese money plant is defined by its shiny, round, flat leaves perched above long, slender stems that radiate from a central point. 

The Chinese Money Plant can produce tiny, pale-pink to white flowers on thin stalks in ideal indoor conditions, usually during spring. However, blooming is rare and not its main feature. What makes this plant especially unique is its tendency to produce numerous offsets or “pups” at the base and even along its roots, which can be gently removed and propagated with ease. 

The full-grown Chinese Money Plant is popular for its easy-care nature, unique round leaves, and air-purifying qualities, making it a great decorative houseplant for modern interiors. Its upright, architectural look adds charm to tabletops, shelves, or hanging planters. 

When and How to Water Your Chinese Money Plant 

The Chinese Money Plant is mildly drought-tolerant and does not like sitting in wet soil, which can quickly lead to root rot. During average conditions, let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out between waterings. If you’re unsure, it’s safer to wait a day or two longer than to water too soon.

The plant can tolerate short dry spells better than overwatering. Water your Chinese Money Plant every 7–10 days during its growing season (March to September) using about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and reduce watering to every 14–21 days during dormancy (October to February). 

From March to September, during its growing season, water the plant every 7–10 days with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water, depending on pot size and indoor climate. You’ll notice it grows faster and pushes out new leaves during this time, so more frequent watering is appropriate. Make sure to use a pot with good drainage and empty any saucers to prevent soggy soil. 

From October to February, in its dormant season, reduce watering to every 14–21 days using around 1/4 cup, only when the soil feels completely dry. Growth will slow down or stop, and watering too much during this period increases the risk of root rot. Place it in a slightly cooler location during dormancy, if possible, to help mimic natural seasonal changes. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Chinese Money Plant 

When growing indoors, place your Chinese Money Plant near a bright east or north-facing window with indirect light for 6–8 hours daily.

Chinese Money Plant thrives in bright, indirect indoor light and grows best near east- or north-facing windows.

Avoid intense, direct midday sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

If you only have south- or west-facing windows, place it a few feet back or use a sheer curtain. Under low-light conditions, it may become leggy, producing fewer and smaller leaves.

When growing outdoors, give your plant filtered morning sun and bright shade in the afternoon, ideally 3–4 hours of gentle light daily. It can be placed on a shaded patio or balcony during warm months; but must be brought indoors before temperatures drop.

Avoid direct sun exposure during summer afternoons, which can burn the delicate foliage. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Chinese Money Plant prefers a well-drained, airy, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0), and should be fertilized once a year. A quality indoor potting mix amended with perlite or pumice ensures proper drainage. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has Go to cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system, to help your succulents thrive. Avoid compacted or moisture-retentive soils, as they increase the risk of rot.  

Fertilize your plant once a year in spring using a diluted balanced liquid NPK fertilizer of about 5-10-5. Too much feeding can lead to salt buildup or leggy growth. No fertilizer is needed during the dormant season (October to February), as the plant slows its growth and won’t benefit from added nutrients. Flush the soil occasionally with plain water to remove any accumulated salts. 

Pro Tip: It’s perfectly natural for your Chinese Money Plant to shed an occasional older leaf as it focuses energy on fresh growth. But if you notice multiple leaves dropping at once, overwatering and potential root rot are often to blame. Act quickly by checking the soil and root-adjust watering to help your plant bounce back.

Chinese Money Plant Indoor Requirements 

The best place to grow a Chinese Money Plant indoors is near an east- or north-facing window where it can receive bright, indirect light throughout the day. Avoid placing it directly in harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch its delicate, round leaves. When grown indoors, the Chinese Money Plant thrives in temperatures between 60–75°F, with moderate humidity levels of 40% to 60%. It does well in typical household conditions but appreciates extra humidity, which you can provide with a pebble tray or by grouping it with other plants. Always position it away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and direct heat sources like radiators to prevent stress. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

In all other U.S. states, where winter temperatures dip below this threshold, it is best grown indoors or kept as a seasonal outdoor plant during warm months. 

If you choose to place it outside during summer, be sure to bring it back indoors by late September or early October to protect it from cold damage. 

The Pilea peperomioides can only be grown outdoors year-round in Hawaii, where USDA Zones 10–11 provide the consistently warm, frost-free climate it needs.

In these tropical conditions, the plant enjoys filtered sunlight, mild humidity, and temperatures that stay safely above 50°F.  

Wildlife – Pilea peperomioides Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

When in bloom, Pilea peperomioides may draw a few tiny flies or gnats, but it is not a plant that is known to draw bees, hummingbirds, or butterflies. This plant is more decorative than wildlife-supportive, but its tiny pale flowers can sometimes catch the attention of small insects. However, it’s not a nectar-rich plant and shouldn’t be relied upon to attract pollinators like salvia or milkweed.

According to the ASPCA, Pilea peperomioides is non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. This makes it a pet-friendly houseplant option and a great choice for families. Even if ingested, it rarely causes more than mild stomach upset. Still, always supervise pets around houseplants to discourage chewing. 

How to Propagate Your Chinese Money Plant  

Pilea peperomioides is easily propagated from baby plantlets, which grow from the base or roots of mature plants. When a healthy plant matures, it produces offsets (also called pups) that can be removed and replanted. Wait until the baby plant is 2–3 inches tall, then gently dig around the base and snip it from the parent with a clean knife or scissors.

Ensure the pup has some roots for faster establishment. Plant the offset in a small pot with moist, well-draining soil. Keep it in bright, indirect light and water lightly. Within a few weeks, it should root and begin growing independently. You can also try propagating leaf cuttings in water, but this method is slower and less reliable. 

Potting and Repotting Chinese Money Plant 

Chinese Money Plant prefers a small to medium-sized pot with excellent drainage, and it typically needs repotting once every 1–2 years as it outgrows its container. When potting or repotting, choose a container that has drainage holes and use a light, well-draining soil mix, such as a blend designed for indoor plants or a succulent mix with added perlite or coconut coir. Repotting is best done in spring, just before or as the plant enters its active growing season.

If you notice roots circling the bottom or poking through the drainage holes, or if water drains too quickly, it’s a sign your Pilea has outgrown its current pot. While repotting, it's a great opportunity to separate and propagate any baby offsets (“pups”) growing around the base. After repotting, water the plant lightly and place it in indirect light to help it adjust to its new environment without stress.

Love love love!
Color: Black
This replaced my Roborock and I was terrified about going to another brand. This Lefant robot is better than it--by far! So happy i took the leap! The performance is amazing (with 1 cat and 2 messy flight birds) - stays on top of it! Setting it up in the Lefant app and to Alexa was a snap. The charge in between scheduled cleanings is quick and lasts. Mapping and zoning is a cinch. My cat was scared of my old robot but isnt afraid of this one. It is pretty quiet! If you are debating on this one, you won't regret it.

Decent Mopping for the Price
Color: Black
I’ve been running the **Lefant LiDAR Robot Vacuum and Mop** for at least 6 months, and overall it’s a capable cleaner with smart navigation. It handles pet hair, carpets, and hard floors well, and the large 450ml visible dustbin is a nice touch — easy to check and empty without guessing. As for the **mopping feature** specifically: it’s a basic but functional 2-in-1 mopping system with a 200ml water tank and washable mop pad. It does a respectable job on everyday light dirt, footprints, and spills on hard floors like tile or hardwood. The mop applies water evenly enough for maintenance cleaning, and you can control water flow levels through the app. It also has carpet detection that’s supposed to lift or avoid mopping rugs (which mostly works, though I still set no-mop zones for thicker carpets just in case). That said, it’s not a deep-scrubbing powerhouse — stubborn dried-on spots or heavy messes often need a second pass or manual touch-up. It’s more of a “keep the floors looking fresher between deep cleans” type of mop rather than a full replacement for hand mopping. I tend to use the mopping mode once or twice a week on low-to-medium water settings and it leaves floors noticeably cleaner without streaks when used with a good floor cleaner solution. The combo of strong vacuuming + basic mopping in one slim robot (great for getting under furniture) makes it convenient. Battery life is solid for most homes, and the app is straightforward for scheduling and customizing zones. If you’re looking for an affordable LiDAR robot that vacuums well and adds convenient light mopping without breaking the bank, this Lefant model is a good pick. Just don’t expect premium-level mopping performance (like spinning pads or self-cleaning stations on higher-end brands). Would recommend for apartments or homes with mostly hard floors and light daily dirt!

Best robovac we've ever bought. Would definitely buy again.
Color: Black
I got this on sale for half-price, but knowing how well it works, I would pay full price. Why? Because this is the best of the 4 robovacs I've ever bought. Two of the others stopped working. The third still works, but less well. The advantage of this unit for us is that its filter does not get clogged with dog hair. Different brand: Our previous vac has a roller brush that collects hair, both long hair from my girls and lots of dog hair. The slit through which the dirt and dust travels to the dust collector is too small. Eventually, it gets clogged with dog hair. Advantages of Lefant: * The design of this vac lets the dog hair enter the dust bin where it is effectively trapped by the air filter before it can reach the vacuum motor. This is the big win. * It does an excellent job of mapping out the rooms. I guess that's LiDAR at work. * You can see on the companion app where it has cleaned and how it has mapped out the rooms. It remembers. * Its obstacle avoidance and wall mapping is excellent. It tends not to get stuck, and that's a big win, too. * It goes back to base pretty well (twice I have had to situate it so it made contact with the charging contacts. Did it miss the target, or did the dog knock it off? It probably just missed). * After it charges, it starts cleaning again. The dust bin capacity is big enough that we don't have to empty it every time. And since it restarts its task until it finishes, our floors are less dusty and don't fill the bin as fast. * It's voice prompts are helpful. E.g. when it returns to base it says, "Start charging." * Installation was simple. Plug it in. Let it charge. Download the app. Press the button to start it. * Emptying the dust bin is simple. The bin is easy to clean in the kitchen sink. I can fit my hand into it to dry it with a paper towel. The instructions warn against washing the air filter. * It comes with spare parts (replacement brushes and another filter). No comment features: * I have not used the mop function, so I cannot comment. Disadvantages: * The air filter has two parts: A sturdy filter and a flimsy foam rubber pre-filter. The pre-filter catches the dog hair and it is difficult to brush the hairs off this pre-filter. We easily tore the first pre-filter and we are treating the second more delicately. Clearly, the pre-filters will have to be replaced often. I don't know if replacements are available, but I found filters for computer fans that might be cut to fit for about a buck per pre-filter. So I think of these pre-filters as a disposable part and I hope to find a more sturdy replacement. Owners without dogs may not be bothered by this. Update: Almost two months have gone by and I just love this vacuum even more. It wakes up several times a day and methodically vacuums. Then it quietly slips back to its base. This is the best appliance purchase we ever made. Update: After 5 months, I still love this gadget. Without a doubt the best appliance I have ever purchased. And I found that I can buy replacement brushes and filters. It wakes up several times a day, remembers where it left off and dutifully motors over to that spot and restarts. We have noticed how much less dusty everything is.

'Better than sweeping every day.
Color: Black
This vacuum is… fine. It generally cleans well enough, but honestly, I kind of wish I had spent a few more dollars on a better model. It does a decent job picking up dirt, and it’s definitely quieter than my old robot vacuum, which was loud but surprisingly effective. That old one was very basic — the kind you’d find at big box stores — and it just kept going until it bumped into something. Simple, but it got the job done. By contrast, this one is supposed to be more advanced, with LIDAR and smarter navigation. But I’m not convinced the “upgrades” are actually improvements. It has this frustrating habit of turning right, hitting an obstacle, inching forward, then turning right again — over and over. What happened to the LIDAR? That feels less like smart mapping and more like stubborn programming. It also gets stuck more often than my old Shark robot vacuum. And when it does get stuck, it’s more problematic. Instead of gently bumping into low objects and stopping, it tries to climb them and ends up wedged or tangled. It has even knocked over heavier items, which my older, simpler vacuum never did. Another annoyance: if you try to help it by sweeping debris from corners into the center, it might kick crumbs away as it passes and may or may not actually circle back to clean them up. And there’s nothing more irritating than hearing “job complete” and then immediately stepping on kitty litter it somehow missed. Overall, it’s quieter and it cleans okay — but the smarter features don’t necessarily make it better. Sometimes simple and reliable beats “advanced” and unpredictable.

Absolutely the best robot vacuum. And I know!
Color: Black
I researched and read many of the reviews on the M330 Pro. I can't see how anybody would give it less than 5 stars. I have owned 5 different robot vacs. One of which I just returned because of its poor third party app which was useless. The Lefant company knows robotics. While this is my first from them, I won't hesitate to buy from them again. It is quiet, quick, and the Lefant App which is THEIR own app and not some cheap third party, is the best. Easy to understand, and navigate. The design of the vacuum is very well thought out. The M330 Pro is a brand new model (go look at their website) and the technology has improved from even a year ago. The aid of both 2G and 5G networks is something you just don't find from anyone else. For the price, this is an absolute MUST BUY. And to make the vacuum even better, the customer service from Lefant is the best.
