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 was hesitant at first to purchase a plant off Etsy but I am completely impressed how fast it shipped and the great condition of the plant. I am letting it get used to my house before I plant it into its permanent planter.

Exactly as described. Exceptional care was taken with the packaging!
