Aralia: Care and Problem Solving |
|||||||||||||||||
|
CARE OF ARALIAS Light: Aralias will live in low light conditions, but will grow faster and produce more leaves
in medium to bright indirect light.
Water: Too much water, resulting in root rot, is the main reason why aralias die. Keep your aralia on the
dry side, allowing the soil to dry out before you water it. In very low light conditions an aralia may only need water every
2-3 weeks. Soil: Aralias should be planted in a peat based, well aerated, light soil. This will
help prevent too much water from accumulating in the soil. Humidity: The higher the humidity the happier an aralia will be. If the air is too dry, leaves
will start to drop from the plant.
Fertilizer: An aralia does not need much fertilizer. Feed your plant every other month when actively growing.
Use a plant food high in nitrogen at ½ strength.

AraliA FAQ’S 2. I’ve had my
aralia for about a year and it was doing great. Suddenly it started to lose leaves. I haven’t done anything different. If you’ve had an Aralia for a year and nothing else is changed you are not doing
anything wrong. Aralia will lose leaves once a year. As long as you see new leaves developing, everything is fine.
3. The edges of the leaves of my
aralia are turning brown. Shall I move it to a darker location? Too much fertilizer in the soil or lack of humidity causes brown edges. Stop fertilizing
for three months and try putting a small humidifier or several other plants near your aralia to increase the humidity. 4. I have a ming aralia
that has very weak drooping branches. What should I do? Move your aralia to a brighter location.
