Shrub – Pil Cad/Aluminium Plant (EL-12005)

Description

Pilea Cadierei For Sale

Pilea cadierei or aluminum plant (花叶冷水花, 白雪草) gets its common name from the silvery splashes on its green and oval toothed foliage. Each leaf has four raised silvery streaks across the top. The coloration of the leaves also gives the plant another common name, Watermelon Pilea.

Each leaf is around 2- to 4-inches long. Indoor grown plants prefer a location that receives bright, indirect light for at least four hours each day. Even indoors, don’t allow it to sit in a location receiving direct sunlight or the foliage turns brown due to burning.

Although Aluminum plants prefer the soil to be slightly moist, this does not mean sopping wet or the plant will develop rot and die.
