The Chinese money plant, Pilea peperomioides, has round, coin-shaped leaves on long stalks, which is where its names come from: it is also called the coin plant. We deliver it in Dublin with our own drivers, and across Ireland by DPD.
It comes from south-west China. It is also known as the friendship plant, because it is so easy to take a cutting from and pass on to a friend. Keep it in a bright spot out of direct sun. Water about once a week, less in winter; it needs good drainage and doesn't like to dry out too much, or to sit in water. A liquid houseplant feed once a month helps.
It comes in a plastic nursery pot; our plant pots are sold separately.
Delivery
In Dublin, our own drivers deliver Monday to Saturday, the same day if you order before 11am. We don't deliver on Sundays or bank holidays.
Across the rest of Ireland, it goes with DPD, Tuesday to Friday. Order before 11am the day before; most arrive the next working day; when DPD is busy, it can take two to three working days. Any size marked “Dublin Only” stays with our own drivers, and checkout tells you if a plant can't go to your address.
A Chinese money plant makes an easy present, and our other plant gifts are here. For looking after it, see our plant care products.
