Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

False aralia has a steady and growing place in the plant science, and it has been studied for its fine, deeply divided leaves and its place among the warm-climate house plants. The slender, fern-like leaves and the way the plant grows in the low light of the rooms have been looked into, and it keeps showing up in the work on the indoor foliage plants and the warm-climate trees. The dark, toothed leaves and the slow, upright habit have also made it a fine garden plant in the warm frost-free gardens, and it is a regular subject of the studies of the foliage plants and the ornamental trees of the warm regions.

The slender, deeply divided leaves catch the light well, and the plant grows on slowly and steadily for a very long time.

To grow the false aralia from seed, sow the small seeds thinly in trays of moist, free-draining soil and cover them very lightly, keep them in a warm, bright, sheltered spot and water gently. The seedlings thread up in good time and grow on slowly, so be patient with them. In a warm, bright, sheltered spot with the moist, well-drained soil, the fine, dark, deeply divided leaves will be there in a few seasons.
