Is This the Right Plant for You?

Also known as the Threadleaf Aralia, Spider Aralia or Schefflera Elegantissima, the False Aralia is “false” as it bears little resemblance to most other Aralias in the vast Araliaceae family. This slow grower is perfect for beginners or busy individuals as it requires minimal upkeep over time.
