Finding light for Aluminum Plant in your home
a window
Aluminum Plant may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Aluminum Plant in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Aluminum Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aluminum Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My neighbour is such a sweetheart 🥹 It’s my birthday this week and she wanted to get me something, so all I asked for was a clipping from one of her plants!! She ended up giving me loads of clippings from her pothos after insisting that it needed a haircut, and then she kept asking if I wanted anything else and I said no. I made a passing comment about always killing Chinese money plants (of which she has several) and she just gave me one of hers!! And even said that if I kill it then she can give me another 🥹 She also offered up any clippings of things from her garden - which is beautiful might I add. Shes such a sweetheart, I love her so much #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #PlantLove #PlantSwap #PlantHaul

I think my plant is sending an SOS I just looked at my Chinese money plant and it's stem has blackening on it and it had this dead leaf on it. Please give me some advice. It's hanging by my patio door on the side that doesn't open with a sheer curtain to filter the light
