The Chinese money plant (or Pilea Peperomoides) is frequently featured in Pinterest interiors, where its bright green pancake-shaped leaves provide an adorable and welcome burst of color against white walls. Though not actually a Money Plant (Epipremnum/Scindapsus), this beauty is just as easy to grow in an indoor environment and makes for a great home plant. Its flat round leaves make it one of our top recommendations as a desk plant.
