Pilea Peperomioides
One of the most instantly recognisable houseplants.
Sometimes called the UFO or Pancake plant, this is a highly collective pilea with a wonderful history (read it
here). The round leaves resemble coins and as such the plant is seen to offer good fortune to those who grow them. Luckily these are relatively easy plants to grow - just ensure you don't overwater and that you keep them in a nice bright position.
Plant care
This plant needs the following:
Light
Bright indirect light. Too much sun will burn the leaves.
Water
Water when the top 2-3cm of soil are dry to the touch.
Placement
A spot near a bright window should be perfect.
