Care: Enjoys high humidity levels, making regular misting or placement near a humidifier ideal. Fertilize monthly.
Water: Prefers consistent moisture; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and protect it from overwatering to prevent root rot.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate medium light.
Toxicity: Non Toxic.
Propagation: Use stem tip cuttings in the spring.
Fun Facts: While it looks small, compact, and delicate sitting in your pot, the False Aralia is actually an evergreen tree. In its native habitat, it can shoot up to a staggering 50 feet (15 meters) tall! Indoors, however, it remains a slow grower and usually tops out around 3 to 6 feet.
