Aluminum Plant (Pilea Cadierei)

Consider bringing one of these plants into your kitchen. They’re all pretty easy to care for, which means you can’t really mess this up.


Have all stainless steel appliances? The aluminum plant’s green and metallic silver leaves will be a fitting addition. Keep this in a hanging basket and away from hot or cold drafts (like your heater or air conditioner).

Why it’s great for the kitchen: Another plant that is easy to care for, the aluminum plant’s main appeal in the kitchen is its coloring. And the fact that it’s a good hanging plant means you’ll save valuable counter space.
