About the Balfour Aralia

The Balfour Aralia Plant is a charming indoor plant loved for its rounded, glossy green leaves and neat, tree-like growth. Unlike Ming Aralia, which has very fine and feathery foliage, Balfour Aralia has fuller, softer looking leaves that give it a cleaner and more settled appearance. Its woody stems and compact canopy make it feel like a small indoor tree, perfect for desks, shelves, side tables, bright corners, and living rooms. Botanically Polyscias scutellaria ‘Balfourii’, this plant enjoys bright indirect light, warm indoor conditions, and careful watering once the topsoil starts to dry. A lovely choice for people who want something elegant, green, and slightly different from regular indoor plants.
