The Pilea Perperomoides, also known as the Pancake Plant in common parlance, is a fun and easy houseplant. The plant enjoys places with a lot of indirect sunlight and regular watering so that it never completely dries out. With its round, flat, succulent leaves, it is a very beautiful, full plant.

The Pancake Plant is a plant that you can also easily propagate yourself, so that you can get a whole forest of Pancake Plants from one plant.

Caring for the Pancake Plant

In general, caring for the Pancake Plant is quite simple! Read all about it in our blog about caring for the Pancake Plant or read the short version further down on this page.

Watering the Pancake Plant

The Pilea is not a thirsty plant. A little water every week is enough. Keep the soil slightly moist. The plant certainly does not like to dry out but also does not like to be drowned in water. Make sure that no water remains at the bottom of the pot, otherwise the roots will rot . A good trick for this is to use LECA granules ! Do you want to know how to use LECA granules ?

Light & location of the pancake plant

The Pancake Plant likes light but does not prefer a spot in full sun. This way you avoid burning the leaves. Choose a spot at a northern window. Do not put the plant in a dark spot but also not in a spot that is too light. If it is in the wrong place you will quickly notice this because the leaves change.
