Pilea Sharing Plant is a unique and trendy houseplant, loved for its round leaves that look like little umbrellas or lily pads (some even say flying saucers.). A relatively small indoor plant, it does not usually grow much larger than 18 in. tall and wide, making it perfect for displaying on desks and tabletops. Its interesting look makes this plant perfect for a variety of home decor styles, including Bohemian (boho), midcentury modern, and contemporary. Pilea Sharing Plant is ideal as a focal point, but also blends well with a variety of other houseplants. As it matures, it grows more of a trunk and naturally drops some of its lower leaves, so it looks more like a miniature tree. You may find Pilea Sharing Plant sold under a variety of common names, including Chinese money plant, UFO plant, pancake plant, and pass-it-on plant. While names like Chinese money plant and pancake plant refer to its leaf shape, the Pilea Sharing Plant and pass-it-on plant come from how easy it is to share with friends. It readily produces baby plants from the roots - you can carefully remove these baby plants, if you wish, to share the houseplant love with family, friends, and neighbors.
