Sometimes called False Aralia, it is a very elegant houseplant, appreciated for its refined shape and delicately chiseled foliage. A relatively slow-growing tropical shrub, it can reach 1.5 to 2 m in a pot. Its slender, branched appearance is reminiscent of a small miniature tree. It adapts to bright indirect light or partial shade. Avoid direct sun, which can burn the fine leaves.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if swallowed.
