Balfour Aralia Care

Wait until ½ of the soil dries out before watering your plant. When it becomes cold, you must water Balfour Aralia rare, approximately once a month.

You don’t need to prune this plant necessarily to encourage growth but don’t forget to remove dead leaves.

Feed Polyscias scutellaria with a fertilizer high in nitrogen but always dilute it to ½ the recommended dose.

Balfour Aralia prefers bright indirect sun so place it on the Eastern or Western windowsill. But it can tolerate partial shade if you don’t overwater it.

Choose peat-based and well-aerated soil that provides excellent drainage and prevents the plant from root rotting.

Stem cuttings are the best way to propagate this plant. If you want to make a new plant, put the stem in water or moist soil and ensure that it stands in a warm place, above 70°F (21°C).

This plant loves primary household temperatures between 65-80°F (18-26°C). Balfour Aralia can stunt its growth or die at lower temperatures, so it is not suitable for growing outdoors.

Balfour Aralia loves small pots with drainage holes. Such containers help the soil to dry out quickly. At the same time, the material of the pots does not matter.

We can identify Balfour Aralia as a poisonous plant so keep it away from pets and children.
