Pancake plant

(Pilea peperomioides )

Pancake plant

The popular pancake plant originates from China. This plant is particularly popular for its striking appearance and easy care. Ideal for anyone who likes to bring something special into their home.

 

Size: 30 to 40 centimetres and a blade diameter of 10 to 15 centimetres.

Care

Light: Put your plant in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight.

Water: Keep the potting soil slightly moist and allow excess water to drain away. This prevents root rot. Depending on the temperature and the size of the plant, a weekly splash of water is sufficient.
