The Aralia Balfour in a 6-inch pot is an unbeatable classic with its textured foliage adding sophisticated style to any room. This timeless variety is a great choice for a brightly lit space.
Polyscias scutellaria 'Fabian,' also known as the Fabian aralia, is a popular choice for indoor plants due to its attractive foliage and manageable size. Caring for an indoor Polyscias scutellaria 'Fabian' involves a few key considerations. Firstly, it requires bright but indirect light, so placing it near a window with filtered light is ideal. Regular watering is important, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. It's essential to avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot. Maintaining a moderate to high humidity level around the plant is beneficial, and misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help achieve this. Pruning may be necessary to maintain its shape or remove any dead or damaged leaves. Finally, providing a well-draining potting mix and fertilizing with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during the growing season can help support healthy growth. By following these care guidelines, your indoor Polyscias scutellaria 'Fabian' can thrive and add a touch of greenery to your home or office space.

Water: 5-7 days
Let the soil dry out 20-30% betweent watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 5-7 days
Sun:
This plant needs at least a few hours of direct sun every day. Perfect for a space that faces a south-facing window or directly in your east and west-facing windows. Anything less, and you should consider getting a grow light. It can be placed outside in the summer, where it gets at least a few hours of direct sun a day.
Humidity: high
This plant likes high humidity. Try to keep a minimum of 50%. Having it close to your humidifier or essential oil diffuser would be amazing.
