Common Name - Aralia 'Snowflake'
Scientific Name - Polyscias fruticosa
Description
Native to the tropics of India and Polynesia, Ming aralia is an interesting and exotic houseplant that is technically an evergreen shrub. While it is a bit more temperamental to grow than your average plant, it's well worth the effort for its fluffy, bright green foliage. Its ferny, feathery leaves droop from graceful narrow branches that grow straight up, forming a many-layered, complex plant. Ming aralia grows slowly but can eventually reach over 6 feet in height with the proper care. While it can be considered an outdoor ornamental shrub in USDA hardiness zones 11 and 12, it's most commonly cared for indoors, where it can be planted and grown year-round.

Aralia plant Care and Instruction
The key to keeping Ming aralia happy lies in mimicking its native tropical environment. Direct sunlight is not super important to the plant, but the proper temperature and humidity levels are—mess up either of those, and you can bet that your Ming aralia won't thrive. Additionally, well-draining soil is essential to keep the plant's fine roots from rotting. Not only does Ming aralia make for a beautiful houseplant, but it boasts some perks of its own, too.

It also acts as a great air purifier in your home and has the ability to remove dangerous VOCs from your indoor environment.
