The Pilea Peperomioides Handbook: An Illustrated Guide to Caring for Your Chinese Money Plant

Mary Stanwyck

The Pilea Peperomioides, or Chinese Money Plant, is fast becoming the must-have accessory for every modern home. Beautiful and stylish, these houseplants can bring a great deal of joy, but keeping them happy and healthy is a common source of anxiety for first time owners.

This handy reference guide covers all the most important things you need to know about caring for your Pilea Peperomioides. Debunking the myths and misunderstandings that have grown up around this relative newcomer to the contemporary houseplant scene, The Pilea Peperomioides Handbook cuts through the confusion to help you learn when and how to take action and when to just relax and enjoy.

Written in non-technical language and illustrated with 42 color photographs, this easy-to-follow manual is perfect for beginners, and contains plenty of tips and tricks for more experienced houseplant hobbyists too. Topics covered include choosing your pot and soil, creating the best environment for your Pilea to thrive, watering, fertilizing, propagation, pruning, dealing with pests, troubleshooting, and much more.

An invaluable resource for all Pilea Peperomioides lovers, this illustrated handbook also makes the ideal gift to accompany the many babies produced by what has become affectionately known as the 'Pass It On Plant’.
