- What you will get. You will receive Variegated False Aralia growing in a 3” nursery pot.
- False aralia (Dizygotheca elegantissima) is a popular houseplant with attractive foliage. The plant has long, narrow, dark green leaves with saw-tooth edges. When young, the leaves are coppery green. The leaves turn dark green and even almost black as they mature. The gold crest false aralia is a variegated form of false aralia with creamy white to golden edges on its leaves, which adds special beauty. The plant may reach to 4–6 feet in height.
- False aralia prefers a moist, well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix and cannot tolerate soil with high moisture-holding capacity. It prefers part shade, with a bit of morning sun, or dappled shade. It can also grow in full shade or part sun. Water the plant thoroughly when the topsoil becomes dry. False aralia is very sensitive to overwatering and soggy conditions, and needs fast drainage. Regularly misting helps keep the plant happy and healthy. Feed the plant once 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Keep the temperatures above 65°F.
