How to Take care of Ming Aralia Stump

Sun: Indirect

The Ming Aralia Stump thrives in medium to bright conditions. Place it near an east or north-facing window for the best growth and fuller foliage.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun. Avoid harsh midday rays to prevent leaf scorch.

Water: When mostly dry

Water only when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. They prefer a consistent but not soggy routine—overwatering can cause root rot.

Humidity: Any

They adapt to average household humidity but will flourish in slightly higher humidity levels. A light misting or humidifier can boost growth.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Ming Aralia is toxic if ingested by pets. Keep it away from cats and dogs to avoid digestive issues.

Pro Tip

Pruning regularly will help maintain its elegant stump form and encourage denser foliage. Use a well-draining soil mix for healthy roots.

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!
