Money plants (Pilea peperomioides, Chinese money plants) are attractive houseplants with round, coin-shaped leaves and easy care. Money plant summer care tips:
Light: Money plants like indirect, bright light. Place your money plant near a window for indirect sunlight in summer. Avoid direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn.
Watering: Water your money plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Due to evaporation, summer watering may be necessary. Avoid overwatering to avoid root rot. To avoid waterlogging, drain the pot and dump the saucer.
Money plants like moderate to high humidity. Consider adding a tray of water and pebbles or a humidifier to your money plant in summer when air conditioning makes indoor air drier.
Money plants like 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid high temperatures and drafts that can stress your money plant.
For spring and summer growth, treat your money plant every 4-6 weeks using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. To avoid overfeeding, fertilize per product label.
Pruning: To ensure healthy growth and look, remove yellowed, damaged, or dead money plant leaves regularly. You can pinch leggy stems to promote bushier growth.
These summertime care suggestions will help your money plant grow and enhance your indoor environment with its unique foliage.
