False Aralia

Native to New Caledonia, False Aralia (Plerandra elegantissima, formerly Schefflera elegantissima) is a slender houseplant recognized for its narrow, serrated leaves and graceful form. It makes a striking statement without overwhelming a space.

Prefers bright, indirect light. Can adapt to medium light but grows slower.

Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Likes higher humidity. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer. Rotate to keep growth balanced.

As a Breeze energy plant, False Aralia’s delicate foliage evokes the gentle tinkle of fūrin (Japanese wind chimes), symbolizing serene summer breezes and harmonious flow. Position it in the East sector or on a bright shelf where its leaves can sway freely, inviting fresh perspectives and mental clarity. To deepen this calming effect, sit quietly beside your plant for a few minutes—close your eyes and focus on the sound of its leaves stirring as a simple meditation to center your mind.

Your plant will be carefully packaged with protective sleeves and cushioning to ensure safe arrival. We ship orders within 2–3 business days, and most plants arrive in 3–10 business days depending on your location and plant condition.

Because plants are living beings, some minor imperfections — like a bent leaf or slight soil disturbance — may occur during transit. This is normal and will not affect the plant’s health. We also adjust shipping schedules during severe weather and include heat packs in winter months when needed to protect your plant.
