Aralia 'Green'

Green Aralia (Aralia Polyscias) – Lush Tropical Elegance for Modern Spaces

The Green Aralia, scientifically known as Aralia Polyscias, is a tropical evergreen shrub celebrated for its fine, fern-like foliage and naturally elegant form. Native to the Pacific Islands, this plant adds a refined, airy presence to any interior space. Its delicate, thread-like leaflets grow densely along slender, upright stems, creating a lush, feathery canopy that adds both texture and vertical interest to your décor.

Outdoors in tropical climates, Green Aralia can grow up to 10 feet tall, but as a houseplant, it typically stays between 3–6 feet, making it an ideal accent piece for living rooms, offices, or bright indoor corners. Its tropical beauty and low-maintenance care needs make it a favorite among plant lovers and interior stylists alike.
