The governed canonical identity is Pilea cadierei. Pilea cadieri is retained only as ASPCA source spelling metadata.
Safety for cats and dogs
For cats and dogs: Aluminum Plant is listed as non-toxic within the governed species identity on this page.
Non-toxic does not mean edible or guaranteed symptom-free. Chewing plant material can still cause nonspecific stomach upset, and fertilizer, pesticide, mold, decorative materials, or potting media are separate exposure concerns.
What can happen
If a pet has persistent symptoms or a concerning exposure, contact a veterinarian or animal poison-control service for case-specific advice.
Identity clarification
The two spellings do not create two governed identities.
