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.

Plants were packed very well and arrived in a healthy condition. I was also thankful that they included care instructions which is also very helpful since every plant has different needs. They arrived very quickly after I ordered them which is a real plus since you are anxious to receive them. Would definitely shop here again.
