Aralia 'Bianca'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness The Aralia 'Bianca' is a tropical, evergreen shrub known for its dense, lacy, fern-like leaves composed of many small leaflets. It is often grown as a multi-branched bush or trained into a small, ornamental indoor tree.The 'Bianca' variety is prized for its beautiful variegation. The deeply serrated, bright green leaflets are edged or splashed with creamy white or light yellow, giving the plant a bright, airy, and sophisticated appearance. Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain the vibrant variegation. Low light will cause the white areas to fade and can lead to leaf drop. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Requires a rich, well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting soil amended with a bit of peat moss for richness and perlite for drainage works well.  It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). USDA Zone 10-11 USDA Zone 9b: to -3.8 °C (25 °F)
