Ming Aralia 8"

The Ming Aralia (Polyscias fruticosa) is an elegant, tropical plant known for its finely divided, feathery foliage, giving it a delicate, airy appearance. An interesting characteristic of the Ming Aralia is its versatility; it can be grown as a compact shrub or trained into a small indoor tree, making it a beautiful addition to both home and garden spaces. 

The Ming Aralia can grow up to 6 to 8 feet tall with a spread of 2 to 3 feet when grown indoors or in containers. It thrives in bright, indirect light. The plant is sensitive to cold and should be kept indoors or brought inside when temperatures drop below 55°F. Ming Aralia prefers well-drained soil and requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Be careful not to overwater, as this plant is susceptible to root rot.

It is important to note that the Ming Aralia is considered toxic to both humans and animals if ingested, so it should be placed out of reach of pets and small children.
