How to prune pilea peperomioides 'mojito'

Spring for removing pups; dead-leaf removal year-round. Twist or cut dead leaves off cleanly at the stem. To remove pups, wait until they are 5–7 cm tall, then cut them from the mother plant's root with a clean knife.

Rarely — only to remove dead leaves or separate pups. Pilea peperomioides 'Mojito' (Chinese Money Plant, variegated) needs minimal pruning. Remove dead, yellow, or damaged leaves at the base as they appear. Offsets (pups) that emerge from the soil can be removed and propagated. No shaping or structural pruning is needed — the plant forms a naturally tidy rosette.
