Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow excess water to drain away completely.

Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Prune to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, or remove leggy stems. Cut back stems just above a leaf node. This will stimulate new growth from that point.

Pruning can also be used to propagate new plants from the cuttings.

Chinese money plants are easily propagated from stem cuttings or offsets. Take a 5-10 cm cutting and remove the lower leaves. Place the cutting in water or directly into moist potting soil.

Roots will typically form within a few weeks.

Repot your Pilea peperomioides every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure good aeration for the roots.
