Aralia 'Green'

Aralia Green 💚🌿 has finely textured green foliage and an airy, elegant shape that adds height and softness without feeling bulky. It does best indoors in bright indirect light, where it looks especially nice on a plant stand, in an office, or in any spot that needs a more polished tropical feel. This plant is generally manageable, but it does better with consistency than tougher beginner plants like pothos or snake plants. Pro tip: if it starts dropping leaves, check the light and watering first 💧—it usually prefers not to stay too dark, too dry, or too soggy.
