About the plant:

Polyscias from the Araliaceae family, it comes from Asia and Africa. It is known as a house tree and is called "shade tree" or "nutmeg tree", ideal for any shady place in the house. This is of course due to its silhouette of a tree complete with trunk, branches and leaves. And all this in a manageable living room format, what more could you ask for? "Poly" means "many", "scias" means "shadow" in Greek. And that's where he likes it: in the shade. So find a nice spot where there is not full sun. You can place it, for example, in a corner, where it brings a lot of peace and greenery.

Polyscias Balfouriana has light green leaves with white variegation on the edge of the heart-shaped leaves.

We wrote more about Polyscias in our article .

Light

Polyscias can tolerate a shadier place in the apartment, so it will do better even in a corner of the apartment away from the windows. Avoid direct sunlight. This species requires more light to color its leaves, so give it more diffused light.

Watering

In the warm months, water more abundantly, but avoid overwatering. Do not let the substrate dry completely. In the winter months, reduce watering and let the substrate dry slightly before the next watering.

Humidity

The plant prefers higher air humidity. Do not place the plant in a very warm place near the heater and avoid drafts.

Propagation

Polyscias are well propagated by cuttings.

Common problems

Polyscias is susceptible to common indoor pests (thrips, mealybugs, etc.) Yellowing of the leaves can indicate insufficient or too abundant watering, sometimes a lack of fertilizer.
