With its round, bright green leaves attached to thin, upright petioles, the Friendship Plant (Pilea Peperomioides) boasts a unique and recognizable look. Its rosette-like form and compact growth make it an ideal houseplant for tabletops or shelves, where its whimsical, circular foliage can stand out.
One of the key reasons this plant has become a household favorite is its ease of care. The Friendship Plant can tolerate a variety of conditions, including average room humidity and indirect light. For new plant owners or those with a busy schedule, this low-maintenance plant is a great choice.
One of the reasons Pilea Peperomioides is known as the “Friendship Plant” is due to its ability to grow "pups," or baby plants, at its base. These pups can easily be propagated and shared with friends, making it a symbol of generosity and friendship in the plant world. Simply remove the pups from the mother plant and gift them to friends and family to grow their own!
Originating from the Yunnan province in southern China, Pilea Peperomioides has a fascinating history. This plant was first discovered by a Norwegian missionary in the early 20th century and brought back to Europe. It became popular through informal sharing among friends, which is how it earned its common name, the Friendship Plant. Despite its humble beginnings, it’s now a global houseplant favorite.
We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location.
Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.
We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.
Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
