Ming aralia is an exotic houseplant native to India and Polynesia. Though it’s a bit temperamental to grow, it’s worth the effort for its fluffy, bright green foliage. Like false aralia, it can eventually reach over 6 feet in height with the proper care. It’s most commonly cared for indoors, where it can be planted and grown year-round in partially sunny conditions. This plant contains saponic glycosides that make it mildly toxic to humans and pets in large quantities

Ming Aralia Care
While the Ming aralia shrub has earned a reputation for being picky over the years, it really is no fussier than any other bit of greenery you’ve cared for. Here are the main care requirements for growing Ming aralia.
- Mimic its native tropical environment by maintaining proper temperature and humidity levels.
- Plant in well-draining soil. This is essential to keep the plant’s fine roots from rotting.
- Irrigate consistently but do not oversaturate. Let the soil dry out between waterings.
- Feed the plant monthly during its growing season from spring into fall.
