With showy, silver-splashed leaves make the Aluminum Plant (or Pilea Cadierei) a stunning and popular house plant. ISilvery streaks mark each leaf, adding a dramatic metallic design to its quilted texture. These unusual patterns give this plant another common name, watermelon pilea.
Plant Care: it's easy to grow (as long as you can meet its need for humidity by misting regularly). Water sparingly because it won't tolerate soggy soil which causes root rot. Aim to keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season.
As it matures it will drop its lower leaves, this is normal, but cut back older stems in spring to prevent the plant looking “leggy” and to encourage fresh growth.
Keep it in bright light, the foliage will lose its variegation if the light level is too low. It's a good idea to place it in bright, filtered sunlight year-round.
