DESCRIPTION

The Aluminium plant, also known as Pilea cadierei and Watermelon pilea, is a charming small houseplant with dark green leaves flecked with silvery white patterns that look like paint. It's a popular indoor plant all over the world.

Not only do they look gorgeous and are easy to keep, Aluminium Plants are also easy to propagate and pet safe. They like moisture and should be watered around once a week with the soil kept lightly moist. They do best in moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid direct light which can scorch the leaves.

With upright growing red coloured stems, the shape of these plants evolve as they grow and can be maintained by pruning from time to time. These little plants are one of the cutest small houseplant varieties around that are easy to match with any space!

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
