care tips
In summer, the Polyscias needs to stand in moist soil, without it drying out completely. As the soil should remain moist, it is advisable to water regularly. The Aralia prefers a sunny spot with a few hours of direct sunlight. If this houseplant is placed too far from the window, there is a risk of leaf fall and stagnant growth. The ideal temperature is between 12 and 26 Celsius.
