Care Guide
Place in bright, indirect light; direct afternoon sunlight will scorch the smooth leaves and cause them to curl.
Water roughly once a week when the top inch of soil is dry, and wait until the leaves look slightly soft.
Wipe the large, flat leaves occasionally, as they accumulate dust that hinders photosynthesis.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why are the leaves of my Pilea curling inward perfectly like a dome?
Significant doming or curling is often a sign of heat stress or too much direct sunlight.
Why are the bottom leaves of my Chinese Money Plant turning yellow and falling off?
While some bottom leaf drop is normal aging, rapid yellowing usually signifies the plant is sitting in poorly draining, overly wet soil.
