Plant Profile: Polyscias fruticosa 'Elegans'

Parsley Aralia is a lush, evergreen shrub native to the Pacific Islands, characterized by its curled leaves that bear a resemblance to parsley. Like other members of the aralia family, it is primarily cultivated for its striking foliage, as it seldom produces flowers when kept as a houseplant.

To ensure its health, plant it in nutrient-rich, well-draining potting soil within a container that has multiple drainage holes. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and provide bright light or morning sunlight. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and size. Additionally, stem cuttings can be propagated, making them suitable for bonsai cultivation.
