Chinese money plant (Pilea peperomioides), often referred to as the friendship plant, coin plant, or UFO plant, is a popular houseplant thanks to its attractive coin-shaped foliage and ease of care.
It is grown primarily for its unique foliage and does not often flower indoors.
This perennial is a low-maintenance, air-purifying option that's also pet-safe. Chinese money plant is easy to propagate and share with friends, hence "friendship plant." In the right lighting, it can double in size within a year.
