Stock Photo: Pilea Cadierei (Or The Aluminium Plant Or Watermelon Pilea)
ID 280652455 © Nexplusproduction | Megapixl.com
The aluminum pilea is an evergreen perennial, growing up to 60 cm (24 in) tall and featuring dark-green, oval leaves, with slightly “textured” or “serrated” edges, and with each leaf having four raised silvery patches (hence the name "aluminium plant").The plant forms subterranean rhizomes to colonize an area. The independent and upright stems are somewhat succulent, and may grow woody over time, at the base. The stems are mostly featureless, though (along with the stipules, petioles and blades) they have a fine coating of spindle-shaped cystoliths.
