How often do you water your Aluminum Plant? Mine has died...

#Pilea
20ft to light, indirect
4” pot without drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
It says no drainage. Is that accurate? This plant prefers moist soil but not wet. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and let it dry a bit more in winter. Never let it sit in soggy water or dry out completely. It thrives in higher humidity (50% to 70%). Mist the leaves or set the pot on a tray of wet pebbles if indoor air is dry.
I have to water mine about every 4 days give or take
@AwakeCactus36 thank you! It has drainage but it’s in a slightly larger plastic pot. I think I watered it too much and then too little! Ugh!
@JPR yours looks happy! I’ll try that
@AwakeCactus36 it’s indoors but we’re in Florida. Lots of humidity. But it’s in my office which can get cold.
@TryOleaster86 try to keep it away from vents as well
