This pilea loves as much indirect light as it can get and sends out baby plants, or "pups" during the spring and summer.
Available in store
CloseThe names, Chinese Money Plant, Pass-It-On-Plant, UFO Plant, or Pancake Plant, all describe the growing nature of this fun pilea. Flat round leaves can grow to be several inches across, and during its growing season, the Pass-It-On-Plant sends out baby plants that can be cut from the mother, planted, and passed on to friends. This one needs as much indirect sun as you can give it for optimal growth, and you'll need to rotate it periodically so it grows evenly. Oh, and please do dust the leaves periodically - they need clean leaves to breathe!
