Description
Ming Aralia — Product Guide
Slender leaflets form finely divided leaves and a richly layered crown, giving Ming Aralia the presence of a small indoor tree without any visual heaviness. Light tip pruning encourages branching and a fuller outline.

At its best beside a bright window, or in a reception, meeting area or reading corner. Its delicate shadows pair naturally with timber, linen and soft neutrals — once placed, avoid unnecessary moves so conditions stay stable.
Keep it warm in bright, indirect light with medium to high humidity. Water thoroughly once the top 5cm of compost is dry, using an open, free-draining mix. Avoid prolonged wetness and severe dryness — direct air-conditioning, sudden moves and low light can all trigger leaf drop.
The fine, feathery leaves look light in a bright reception or meeting-room corner. Just keep it away from where the air conditioning blows directly on it, or it can drop leaves.
Its tree-like form suits a bright reading corner, and a light trim keeps the branching tidy. As at the office, keep it clear of the air conditioning outlet — low humidity doesn’t suit it either.
Leaf density, stem direction and pruned outline vary naturally from plant to plant, each with its own character. A little older foliage may shed after transport — settle it into a stable, bright position and continue with normal care.
The plant is harmful if eaten, by adults, children or pets alike, and the sap may irritate skin. Keep it out of reach and wash your hands after pruning.
