Planta is telling me this is a Chinese Money Plant but it has a tear drop shape that is slightly different. Is it?

If so does it require the same sort of care?

Looks like a pilea plant tbh just a bit different

It’s a raindrop peperomia!

#### Bellefontaine replied on 2023-08-30

Yes! That looks right! Any chance you know whether it’s better to water from the top or bottom?

#### Anya replied on 2023-08-30

That’s a personal preference, however bottom watering can keep the soil moist for longer which can be a good or bad thing. If you do decide to bottom water, make sure you occasionally top water to flush out minerals that build up.

Thank you so much!
