Set of 2 Aralia Green in 4 Inch Nursery Bag

Aralia Green (Polyscias fruticosa), often called the Ming Aralia, is a sophisticated evergreen shrub prized for its delicate, lacy foliage and tree-like structure. It is a versatile choice of indoor decor, offering both aesthetic elegance and functional health benefits.

Decor Benefits

• Vertical Interest: Its upright, multi-stemmed growth habit makes it an excellent choice for adding height to corners or as a floor-standing statement piece.
• Textural Contrast: The fine, feathery leaves provide a soft, complex texture that complements modern, minimalist, or bohemian interior styles.
• Versatile Styling: Smaller specimens work well as tabletop accents or on office desks, while larger plants can reach up to 6 feet, serving as living sculptures.
• Symbolism: In many cultures and Feng Shui practices, it is believed to bring prosperity, positive energy, and balance to a home.

Care Instructions

• Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves. It can tolerate medium light but will grow more slowly.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. These plants are highly susceptible to root rot if left in standing water.
• Humidity: They thrive in high humidity (50% or higher). Regularly mist the leaves, use a pebble tray, or place them near a humidifier, especially in dry winter months.
• Temperature: Maintain a warm environment between 65°F and 85°F (18°C–29°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts and may drop leaves if temperatures fall below 60°F.
• Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring through fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength.
• Pruning: Regularly trim leggy stems or pinch back tips to encourage bushier, denser growth and maintain its shape.
