This plant is admired for its unique stature and distinctive look. It gets its name in that its leaf shape looks similar to a chicken's gizzard, but it is also called the “geranium leaf” aralia for the obvious reason. The lush green texture and shape of the leaves make this an ideal accent plant for the office.

What is the plant
How to Care for the Plant
Water
This plant needs to be kept slightly moist at all times. Issues with leaf drop are usually related to humidity; aralias will not tolerate dry air.
Pruning
Regular pruning is important to keep the foliage full. New leaves regenerate quickly from cut branches.
Fertilizer
Fertilize regularly from early spring until late fall.
