@KeyRedwood81 Welcome to the Greg community! A container aluminum plant (Pilea cadierei) is known for being relatively easy to care for, requiring minimal upkeep, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Here's a breakdown of its care needs:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.
Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering in winter.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, misting the leaves can help.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
Temperature: Prefers warmer temperatures, ideally between 65ยฐF and 85ยฐF. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly, every few weeks during the growing season, with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every spring.
Pest Control: While generally pest-resistant, watch out for mealybugs or spider mites.
Pruning: Prune to maintain a bushy shape. Hope this is helpful, Happy Growing!
