The aluminium plant is very easy to care for. Make sure it receives plenty of bright indirect light, making sure the sun doesn't directly hit the leaves when it's at its strongest. It can also tolerate light shade but may get a bit leggy. If it does, then give it an occasional trim to keep it nice and bushy.
Water when the top third of soil has dried out, about once a week should be fine.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
