Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Pilea depressa — Aluminium Plant
🌿 Textured silver foliage • ☀️ Indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🪴 Easy care
The Pilea depressa, also called Aluminium Plant or artillery plant, is a small tropical plant notable for its dense and shiny foliage. Native to the humid regions of Southeast Asia, it charms with its round leaves delicately veined with silver, bringing light and freshness to urban interiors.
Compact, easy to care for, and non-toxic, it adapts equally well to an office or a bright bathroom. Ideal for those who want to green their space without constraints.
Exposure & location
The Pilea depressa enjoys bright environments without direct sunlight. It thrives in soft, natural or filtered light, and tolerates partial shade. Excessive sun could dull its foliage.
- Exposure: indirect light or partial shade.
- Ideal: shelf, windowsill, desk, or bright bathroom.
- Temperature: between 18 and 24 °C, protected from cold drafts.
- Substrate: light and well-drained potting soil, enriched with perlite or coconut fiber.
Verdeia tip: place it near an east or north-facing window to keep its dense and bright foliage.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate, about once a week, when the surface of the soil starts to dry.
- Drainage: essential to avoid water stagnation and yellowing of the foliage.
- Fertilizer: a monthly application of light universal fertilizer in spring and summer.
- Pruning: lightly pinch the stems to encourage a compact shape and new shoots.
- Repotting: every 1 to 2 years, in spring, into a slightly larger decorative pot.
In winter, reduce watering and keep the plant in a bright and temperate room.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
With its trailing habit and textured foliage, the Pilea depressa adds a touch of plant softness to any space. It pairs perfectly with natural materials and neutral tones.
- To combine with: Fittonia, Peperomia, or Maranta to create a graphic and harmonious plant composition.
- Ideal pot: beige stoneware, terracotta, or light ceramic to highlight its silver shades.
- Ambiance: perfect for an urban mini-jungle or a greened shelf.
Hang it in a small decorative pot or let it trail from a console for a natural and airy effect.
Verdeia tips
- Mist the foliage in summer to maintain a pleasant ambient humidity.
- Avoid too dark exposures: its foliage would lose density.
- Never leave stagnant water in the saucer.
- Regularly remove overly long stems to keep a nice compact shape.
- Give it soft light and some simple care: it will reward you with constant vitality.
