Description
The Chinese money plant, also known as the missionary plant, lefse plant, pancake plant, UFO plant or just pilea (short for its scientific name of Pilea peperomioides) is originally from the southwestern Yunnan province of China. Popular lore maintains that a Norwegian missionary, Agnar Espegren, took cuttings home with him in the 1940s, and shared them with friends and family. Those plants were spread throughout Scandinavia, and eventually the world, as people passed cutting between friends.

I live in Austin Texas and this took one week to arrive. The packing was done wonderfully. Plant was begging for water and sun when she arrived but not damaged! I have full confidence she will grown up to be one of the best! Thanks!

I had a great experience with this shop! I purchased a Hoya Tricolor Carnosa, Pilea Peperomia, and a Scindapsus Pictus “Silver Satin Pothos”. My package arrived quickly and all plants were packaged very well and securely. There was no damage to any of the plants and they were as gorgeous as advertised. It’s been almost two weeks since they arrived and all are so beautiful and healthy. Will definitely purchase from this shop again.
