Pilea peperomioides ‘Sugar’ is a charming twist on the classic Chinese Money Plant, known for its round, coin-shaped leaves. What makes ‘Sugar’ special is the delicate silver speckling on its bright green foliage, giving it a lightly frosted look. It’s an easy-care plant that thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys a drink when the top of the soil feels dry. Since it grows quickly and produces lots of baby plants (pups), it’s fun to share cuttings with friends!
Even better, Pilea ‘Sugar’ is pet-friendly, so it’s safe for homes with cats and dogs. Just keep it in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering, as it doesn’t like soggy roots. If you notice the leaves reaching for light, give the pot a little turn now and then to keep it growing evenly. With its unique speckled look and easy-going nature, ‘Sugar’ is a lovely addition to any plant collection!
When it does come to re-potting it (check for roots coming out of the bottom), use Soil Ninja Ficus Blend - see this link.
