Pilea peperomoide is commonly known as the Chinese Money Plant. It is also called 'pass-it-on', 'friendship' and even 'UFO'plants.  UFO is because the leaves are saucer shaped, like coins. Pilea plants are also easy to share, or pass-on. You can simply pluck one of the plant stems coming up out of the soil. The "pup" as they are called will be rooted and ready for you to give to a friend. 

Chinese Money Plants are fast-growing and super easy to grow house plants making them great for beginners or at an office. It's pretty easy to know when Pilea plants need water because the leaves will start to droop a little bit. They will perk right back up after watering. Just don't water them too often, they prefer being a bit more on the dry side.

You can buy houseplants on Walmart. Yes, Walmart! They work with multiple nurseries to ship a wide variety of house plants to your door. We ordered 3 houseplants from Walmart, got free shipping and the houseplants were awesome.  You can shop house plants at Walmart here.

 

 

Burpee

Anyone who has spent any time growing vegetables from seed are probably familiar with the Burpee catalog.  Burpee has been selling seeds and plants since 1881! They're online store at Burpee.com offers a huge selection of heirloom seeds and plants, vegetables, flowers, herbs, perennials, and yes, house plants. Their prices are reasonable and their reputation has stood strong for over 130 years.

 

 

Hirt's Gardens

Located in central Ohio just a little south of Cleveland, Hirt's Gardens describes themselves online as; "one of Ohio's oldest horticultural establishments.". They could also be considered the low price leader for house plants. We have seen prices as low as $2.99.  They have a huge selection, mostly 2 to 4 inch pots.  They also have most of their houseplant collection available on Amazon. Simply because the ship costs are better, many of the 'Shop Now' buttons on Hirt's Garden house plants we list will send you to their product listing on Amazon. If there are no special savings, we just send you to that particular product on their website.

 

Garden Goods Direct

We have actually visited the facilities at Garden Goods Direct. They seem to really care about sending quality plants and have a good selection of popular houseplants. Most sizes will be a bit larger then what Hirt's Gardens sells. But, you can also expect to pay more. Garden Goods Direct also has an Amazon store and we will link there for most of the house plants we list prices on for them. Ship costs when buying direct from their website are usually a lot more then buying from their Amazon store.

Brighter Blooms

Full disclosure; I have a previous relationship working for the parent company that owned BrighterBlooms.com. That was almost a decade ago. They do carry a decent selection of "indoor" plants but the list includes most of their citrus trees. The list of actual house plants is a bit smaller. Despite our bad experience with their sister website (Unboxing Meyer Lemon tree from Fast Growing Trees), we have actually ordered houseplants from Brighter Blooms & were very pleased. In most cases, we will link you to their Amazon Store. You can get MUCH better overall deals when you include shipping cost.
