Pilea peperomioides

Pilea peperomioides, or Chinese money plant, is a coo house plant with round leaves that look like pancakes or silver dollars.

The Nettle Family has not offered many ornamental plants until now: Pilea peperomioides. Known as Chinese money plant or pancake plant, the round, fleshy, semi-succulent leaves held outwards on stems that join the leaf near its middle makes it a unique and sought-after houseplant. Pilea is also said to be good luck and to attract money into your life! They are easy to care for in normal household conditions in a moderate to somewhat shady light.
