<\/b>Pilea peperomioides<\/i>, known as Chinese money plant<\/b>, pancake plant<\/b>, lefse plant<\/b>, or missionary plant<\/b>, is a species<\/font><\/a> of flowering plants<\/font><\/a> in the family<\/font><\/a> Urticaceae<\/i>, native<\/font><\/a> to Yunnan Province in southern China<\/font>. Growing to 30\u00a0cm (12\u00a0in) tall and wide, it is an erect, <\/font>succulent<\/font><\/a>, <\/font>evergreen<\/font><\/a> <\/font>perennial<\/font><\/a>, with round, dark green, <\/font>peltate<\/font><\/a> leaves up to 10\u00a0cm (4\u00a0in) in diameter on a long <\/font>petiole<\/font><\/a>.[1]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/div>\n

P. peperomioides<\/i> was first collected by George Forrest<\/font><\/a> in 1906, and again in 1910, in the Cang Mountain<\/font><\/a> range in Yunnan Province.<\/div>\n
In 1945 the species was rediscovered by Norwegian missionary Agnar Espegren<\/font><\/a> in Yunnan Province when he was fleeing from Hunan Province. Espegren took cuttings<\/font><\/a> with him back to Norway, by way of India, in 1946 and from there it was spread throughout Scandinavia.<\/div>\n
P. peperomioides<\/i> is an example of a plant which has been spread amongst amateur gardeners via cuttings, without being well-known to botanists. Its true identity was not finally established until the 1980s. The first known published image appeared in the Kew magazine<\/i> in 1984.[2]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n
With a minimum temperature of 10\u00a0\u00b0C (50\u00a0\u00b0F), in temperate<\/font><\/a> regions P. peperomioides<\/i> is cultivated as a houseplant<\/font><\/a>. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society<\/font><\/a>‘s Award of Garden Merit<\/font><\/a>.[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/div>\n

<\/font>While trying to identify this plant, I came across interesting
literature. This plant remained Botanical Enigma for decades in
Sweden, where it was widely grown in homes without knowing its
identity. It took nearly 40-50 years to come to its identity.

\n
Have checked with several…..,<\/div>\n
In case you come across some nursery or private person who is willing to share a cutting, do let me know.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n

I guess it is a common plant which could be available in any nursery.<\/p>\n

\n

It is available with Amazon. Check this link : https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pilea-peperomioides-Chinese-money-Pancake\/dp\/B071CX3RNX<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
Yes, I know.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Got the seeds from them… planted them.\u00a0 But they were fake.\u00a0<\/div>\n
A plant called Pony\u2019s foot germinated….looks like a miniscule pilea peperomioides<\/i>\ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n
They have even refunded the amount.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I believe it is a scam because this plant has been hyped a lot globally and everybody wants it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
