Aralia Plant Care Guide

The Aralia Stump is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for novice and experienced plant owners.

Light and Temperature

The best-growing condition for an indoor Fabian Aralia stump is a warm, sunny location near a window. Try to position the plant in a spot that provides around half a day of direct sunshine in a room with a temperature of at least 70°Ft. If temperatures drop below this, it could result in leaf drop. Keep the plant away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. 

Watering and Humidity

Water your Aralia Fabian plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. This plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing a water tray near the plant to increase humidity. 

Soil, Feeding, and Repotting 

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants. Repot the plant every 2 to 3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger to allow room for growth. Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). 

Pruning and Cleaning

Generally, pruning is unnecessary, but you can trim dead or yellowing leaves to maintain your Aralia Fabian shrub’s appearance. Clean the foliage occasionally to keep it dust-free. This will facilitate photosynthesis and help your plant look its best.

Propagation 

You can propagate your Polyscias Scutellaria from stem cuttings. Use softwood stems that are 8-10 inches long. Dip the cuttings into rooting hormone and plant them in deep enough pots filled with moist potting mix. Place the young plants in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Roots will develop within 6 to 8 weeks.

Common Issues

Common issues include leaf drop due to sudden fluctuations in temperature or low-light exposure. Yellowing leaves, often caused by overwatering, is another possible issue with your beloved Aralia Fabian Stump. So, follow the correct watering schedule to keep your plant healthy.

    The Fabulous Fabian!

    I've been avoiding this plant for awhile and finally decided to take a shot at one when there was a sale. This guy is now my favorite of all my Lively Root plants! He has a very ancient and noble look to him and he stands out from the rest! I'm so glad I took a chance on this one! And every plant I've gotten from them has looked just like it does on their website, unlike other sites where the plants just aspire to look like the website picture (I'm looking at you, Etsy).
