Balfour Aralia Cane and all other sizes and shapes of Aralias are an ideal choice for a bright light interior plant. Aralias are a member of the Polyscias family and are often used in interior landscapes due to their attractive appearance and unique style. They come in all size pots ranging from a 4 all the way up to 17. Interiorscapers love them because they are one of the slower growing plants and tend to stay full and bushy while adding an upscale and exotic look to their environment. Aralias are native to South East Asia and the tropical islands of the Pacific. Surprisingly, they are related to the Ginseng plant and English Ivy. Balfour Aralias prefer temperatures in the 60s and 70s and prefer a well drained soil. Aralias grow in a wide variety of leaf forms and coloration. Common leaf forms are the familiar elegant, lacy leaves of the Ming aralia (aralia ming stump), the rounded leaflets of the chicken gizzard plants, those of the large, aptly named dinner plate aralia and the tightly crinkled leaves of the black or spinach leaf aralia. The really attractive aspects, however, are the massive woody trunks and sweeping, curving branches and heavy, dense and somewhat shaggy foliage of the specimen plants.
