2 Aluminum Plant Starter Plants – Pilea cadierei

This listing includes 2 Pilea cadierei Aluminum Plant starter plants. This tropical foliage species is known for its green leaves patterned with distinctive silvery markings, which give the Aluminum Plant its common name. It develops a compact, bushy growth habit suitable for indoor containers.

These are young starter plants grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation. They are not fully rooted throughout the 2-inch pots, and the 2-inch nursery pots are NOT included. Plants are shipped bare root with their root areas retained in protected soil pods. Avoid unnecessarily removing or disturbing the soil pods immediately after arrival.

The mature plant photos are provided only to illustrate the appearance of a more developed Aluminum Plant. The plants shipped are significantly smaller starter plants. Leaf size, silver markings, foliage density, branching, root structure, and overall appearance naturally vary between individual plants.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
