Your Aralia prefers indirect modeerate to bright light. Too much direct light will scorch the leaves, but too little light will cause slow growth and yellow leaves. Rotate your plant monthly to keep growth even. If you are worried you don’t have enough light in your home, try adding a grow light.
Water your Aralia when the soil volume is 50% dry. Always check the soil moisture before watering to avoid excess moisture. Water thoroughly until you see water flow out of the drainage hole and discard any excess water in the saucer.
Your Aralia thrives in a humid environment. If you have dry air in your home, you increase the moisture in the Aralia’s surroundings by grouping it with other plants that appreciate humidity. Misting the leaves also helps as well as placing a humidifier in the same room or a pebble tray close by.
Your Aralia is most comfortable in temperatures between 65-80°F. Avoid placing your plant in drafty areas or near a vent.
Feed once a month in the spring and summer when it is producing new leaves with a general-purpose fertilizer diluted at half strength. Always make sure the soil is damp before applying any fertilizer. This will prevent the roots from getting damaged.
Aralias are considered toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
Try not to move your Aralia very often, since they prefer a consistent environment. If you do need to relocate it, you may see a bit of leaf drop. Not to worry—it will adjust. Prune any discolored leaves as they age with sharp snips. s.
