Bring Home a Bold Indoor Tree

Add the Aralia Fabian Stump to your space and enjoy its sculptural, tree-like beauty year-round.

Sun: Indirect

This plant adapts well to medium-light conditions, but brighter spots will encourage healthier growth and fuller foliage. Avoid low-light areas for prolonged periods, as this can cause slow growth and drooping leaves.

Light: Medium - Bright

Aralia Balfour Stump thrives in bright, indirect light. They enjoy a few hours of morning or late afternoon sun but should be protected from harsh midday rays to prevent leaf burn. Ideal placement is near a north or east-facing window.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause leaves to curl or drop. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains freely.

Humidity: Any

Aralia Balfour Stump tolerates average indoor humidity but will thrive in slightly higher humidity levels. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can support lush, vibrant leaves, especially during dry winters.

Pet Friendly: No

This plant is mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs to ensure their safety, or opt for a pet-safe placement like a hanging shelf or high table.

Pro Tip

Rotate your Aralia Balfour Stump every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light source. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced indoor plant fertilizer for optimal health.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
