Sunlight

Provide your Pilea with bright indirect sunlight

While your Pilea can tolerate a few hours of bright direct sunlight, too much direct sunlight will discolour & damage their leaves

Misting your Pilea Plant daily helps. Although this indoor plant can also survive in an extremely dry climate

Watering

The soil needs to dry out between watering sessions to prevent the roots from rotting. This may amount to deeply watering your Chinese Money Plant once a week in summer. Reduce the frequency in summer

Do not let your Plant get dehydrated. So water it more often in warmer, sunnier weather

Soil

Polka dot plants prefer organically rich, well-drained soil.

For these Hypoestes plants, an all-purpose organic potting mix is usually sufficient. To increase soil drainage, add some pumice or perlite.

Fertilizer

A general houseplant fertiliser ever 2-3 months during the growing season (spring to summer) will encourage your Pilea's growth.

Toxicity

Your Chinese Money Plant is completely safe, non-toxic and suitable for spaces with pets and children

Additional Care

Wipe down the leaves or give regular showers to prevent the accumulation of dust on bigger leaves and keep your Chinese Money Plant fresh

Pileas may develop white spots on their leaves as a result of salts and chemicals found in tap water. Use filtered or tap water that has been left to sit overnight.

For a nice, balanced shape, rotate your Pilea at least once a week to ensure sunlight reaches every side.

Troubleshooting

Leaves crisping - Suggests your Pilea has suffered from dry air - Try to increase humidity by misting it often, placing it near a humidifier, or using a pebble tray.

Leaves drooping - Indicates your Chinese Money Plant has been underwatered - A thorough watering should reinvigorate it. Another reason could be the plant may not be getting enough light, so place your Pilea in a bright indirect sunlight position

Pilea colour fading - Pilea leaves may turn yellow from ripe green if it hasn't been fed for a month. Enrich your Pilea with all-purpose 20-20-20 fertilizer that has been diluted to half strength, once a month.
