We love Pilea peperomioides, better known as the Chinese Money Plant, for the way it manages to feel both playful and beautifully simple at the same time. With its perfectly rounded green leaves balanced on slender stems, it has become one of the most recognisable houseplants in the world, yet it still feels fresh and modern no matter how often you see it. There is something undeniably satisfying about its shape and symmetry. It brings a calm, clean feeling into a room without ever trying too hard.

The distinctive coin shaped leaves are often associated with prosperity and good fortune, which is part of why the plant has become such a popular gift over the years. We regularly see people choosing them for birthdays, new homes, university rooms, or simply as an easy first plant for someone starting out with houseplants. It is one of those rare plants that feels both thoughtful and approachable.

Pilea peperomioides also has a friendliness to the way it grows. Mature plants gradually produce small offsets, often called pups, around the base of the plant, which can be separated and shared with friends and family. That habit of multiplying and being passed on is one of the reasons the plant became so widely loved long before social media made it famous.

Compact, fresh looking and surprisingly adaptable, it works beautifully on shelves, desks, windowsills, bedside tables, or tucked amongst larger tropical foliage. Even a single healthy specimen adds a bright, modern feel to a room. It is also one of the best value houseplants for the amount of visual impact it gives.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Pilea peperomioides originates from the Yunnan Province of southern China, where it grows naturally in shaded rocky forests with good drainage and gentle filtered light. In the wild, it forms small colonies beneath taller vegetation, protected from intense direct sun while benefiting from consistent moisture and airflow.

Indoors, the plant usually grows to around 25–30cm tall and gradually develops a rounded, upright habit with larger leaves appearing as it matures. Healthy plants often begin producing offsets from the soil around the base, allowing the plant to slowly form a fuller clump over time.

Unlike many trailing or sprawling tropical plants, Pilea peperomioides stays relatively compact and tidy, which is part of what makes it so easy to style in smaller homes or apartments.

Pilea peperomioides care guide

Light requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to gentle direct morning or evening sun. Rotating the plant occasionally helps keep growth balanced.

Watering:
Water when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry. Soak thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away freely. Avoid leaving the compost constantly wet.

Feeding:
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a gentle balanced fertiliser. Our Organic Tropical Plant Food works particularly well for encouraging healthy foliage and steady growth.

Humidity:
Average household humidity is normally fine. It appreciates reasonable airflow and stable indoor conditions.

Pet safety:
Pilea peperomioides is considered non toxic and pet safe, making it a reassuring choice for homes with cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Mature plants naturally produce baby plants or pups around the base. These can be carefully separated and grown on into new plants.

Works as intended
I've been into emulators lately and this is a great HDMI out with charging capabilities to go with your high speed charging brick. Doesn't work for everything, but I can attest it works with the AYN Thor and a Google Pixel 8 Pro, and presumably higher end Pixels. Both have emulators and both come thru my TV just fine. Also works with Kodi. I tried to use wired controllers, but quickly figured I'm better off going Bluetooth on that route. I haven't tried file transfer or anything because all that mattered to me was getting it to the big screen. I'd rather have a docking stand for my needs, but freedom and flexibility isn't a bad thing for this device at a decent price and cheaper than a dock.

Versatile hub adds the ports my Mac lacks
This 7-in-1 USB C hub from Anker has made it easy to connect my laptop to all the devices I need. The HDMI port consistently outputs 4K video at 60Hz, while the USB 3.0 ports and SD/microSD slots transfer files quickly without errors. I appreciate that the pass-through charging allows me to power my MacBook while using the hub, and the unit itself feels solid and well made. It's truly plug-and-play, with no drivers to install, and it greatly expands the limited port selection on modern laptops. The only minor drawback is that the hub can get a little warm under heavy use, but overall it's a reliable, convenient accessory that I feel confident recommending.

Awesome USB-C Hub
My new MacBook Air has USB-C ports only, so I recently upgraded to this USB-C hub, a 7in1 Multi-Port USB-C Adapter, and it has completely solved all of my port needs. With the two USB-A ports, I can still use my old memory sticks, without replacing them, as well as two USB-C ports, all making moving files, movies and pictures, with ease. I needed something fast and reliability, and this little device delivers on both fronts. One of the USB-C ports it a power passthrough, which works great for charging device, like my MacBook Air. It is very easy to use, just plug and play, making it compatible with the MacBook Air. Also has a built in card reader, and a HDMI port, pretty much covering all your port needs. If you are looking for a well built, reliable, fast, and compact USB-C hub that can everything, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

Good value and best of all - it works
This did the job I wanted it to. Expanded the ports when my laptop just ran out. No delay or ANY issue no matter what I plugged where and after a little figuring out where things went (not difficult) its performing very well. As far as value, its great. I always evaluate something by if I would purchase it again. Yes I would. if you need it, get it and set it up and move on with less worry about port capacity.

Good Multipurpose Hub, Some Limits on Power Draw
I use this with a Dell Latitude 7430 with a 65W charger, and it works fine as a docking hub. The only problem I've encountered is when rebooting, the boot will pause with a warning message to tell me that the laptop may encounter reduced performance because it isn't able to receive the full 65 watts. I don't get that warning if I'm not running the power supply through the hub. Otherwise, if I just use the hub as a port extender everything is fine. It has a compact design and is reasonably lightweight. It would be ideal for travel. Like my other Anker hubs, it's well constructed and doesn't feel cheap although it's good value for money.
