Bring more of that natural drama to your living space with the elegant False Aralia. You’re going to love how the delicate, serrated leaflets develop from a gorgeous coppery-brown to a rich, deep green as they mature. 


Native to New Caledonia in the South Pacific, the False Aralia (botanically known as Plerandra elegantissima) is like bringing a piece of tropical paradise into your home. We can't wait to help you welcome this special plant into your family and be there every step of your plant parenthood journey!

Care 

Should you mist a False Aralia?

Your False Aralia absolutely loves humidity—it's like giving your plant a refreshing drink of air! Regular misting helps prevent those sad brown leaf edges while creating the tropical feeling that makes your plant happiest and healthiest in your home.

For even better results, we love setting up a pebble tray with water or using a small humidifier nearby. These simple steps make such a difference in keeping your plant friend lush and vibrant! Plus, good humidity helps keep pesky spider mites away—a win-win for everyone.

What lighting does a False Aralia need?

False Aralia plants thrive in bright, indirect light that mimics their natural forest home. While they'll manage in lower light, they really shine when placed near a window with gentle filtered sunlight where their beautiful foliage can truly glow.

Just be careful with direct sun—it can be a bit harsh on those beautiful leaves! We've found that morning light or a spot behind sheer curtains works wonderfully. Get the lighting right, and you'll be rewarded with that stunning contrast between new and mature leaves that we absolutely adore.

How often do you water a False Aralia?

Water your False Aralia thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to your touch. Think of it as a balanced relationship—your plant needs a good drink but doesn't want soggy feet! This approach helps build strong, healthy roots.

You'll notice your plant gets a bit thirstier during spring and summer growth spurts and needs less water during fall and winter rest periods. We're always here to help you figure out the perfect watering schedule—just reach out if your plant isn't looking its happiest!

Do you need to fertilize a False Aralia?

Your False Aralia loves a good meal during the growing season! Give it a gentle feeding with diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks throughout spring and summer to support those gorgeous feathery leaves and overall plant happiness.

Come fall and winter, your plant naturally slows down, so you can cut back to monthly feeding or even less. We always recommend using half-strength solutions - serve a nourishing home-cooked meal rather than overwhelming your plant with too many nutrients at once.

Do False Aralia like to be root-bound?

False Aralia plants really appreciate room to stretch out their roots! When you notice roots circling inside the pot or peeking through drainage holes, your plant is asking for a slightly bigger home to continue thriving.

We recommend repotting every two years, gently loosening the root ball and trimming any damaged roots with clean scissors. It's like giving your plant a fresh start in a new, comfortable home—one of the most caring things you can do for your False Aralia!


What type of fertilizer is best for a False Aralia?

A balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio around 3-1-2 will give your False Aralia exactly what it needs for those beautiful leaves and strong roots. We always dilute to half-strength—gentle nutrition keeps your plant happiest!

We've also had wonderful results with organic options like worm castings if you prefer a more natural approach. Remember to give your plant a feeding break during winter when it's taking it easy, then resume as those first spring growth spurts appear. Your plant will thank you with beautiful new growth!


What are the signs of overwatering a False Aralia?

If your False Aralia starts showing yellowing leaves (especially lower ones), unexpected leaf drop, or wilting despite moist soil, it's telling you it's getting too much water. These signs help you catch problems early before they become serious health issues.

Soft stems or moldy soil are clear signs your plant needs help right away! We recommend pausing watering to let things dry out, or repotting in fresh, well-draining soil for serious cases.


What temperature is best for the False Aralia?

Your False Aralia feels most comfortable in temperatures between 59-75°F (15-24°C), just like we do! This cozy range helps your plant put energy into growing those beautiful feathery leaves that make it such a special addition to your space.

Just be mindful that temperatures below 55-59°F (13-15°C) can cause leaf drop, and drafts from windows or vents can make your plant unhappy. Finding that perfect, stable spot away from temperature swings is one of the kindest things you can do for your False Aralia!


Is the False Aralia easy to care for? 

The False Aralia appreciates your thoughtful attention to humidity, watering, and stability. While not ideal for plant beginners, this special plant truly rewards your dedicated care with stunning feathery foliage that we absolutely love helping our customers enjoy.

This plant especially likes finding its perfect forever spot in your home, as moving can cause some temporary leaf drop. But don't worry! Once settled in a spot with bright indirect light and good humidity, your False Aralia will thrive under your loving care.


Pet-friendly?

False Aralia contains compounds that can be harmful if ingested by pets, so we always recommend keeping these beautiful plants where curious little paws can't reach them. We want your plants and family members to stay safe and happy!


 Is the False Aralia safe for dogs?

We love our furry friends, so we need to mention that False Aralia plants are toxic to dogs and can cause tummy troubles if chewed. Place your plant in elevated spots or rooms where your canine companions can't reach them.

Is the False Aralia poisonous to cats?

If you're wondering about False Aralia cats safety, we understand your concern! This plant is toxic to our feline friends and may cause digestive upset if nibbled on. Since cats are amazing climbers, finding safe placement takes extra thought.


Factoids

Where is the False Aralia native to?

The False Aralia comes to us from the beautiful tropical islands of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, where it enjoys warmth and humidity year-round. Understanding its native home helps us recreate those perfect growing conditions in our own spaces! 

We love how this plant brings a touch of those exotic South Pacific islands right into your living room—like having a permanent tropical vacation spot in your own home!


Does the False Aralia bloom?

False Aralia plants rarely flower indoors, though they occasionally surprise us with small, modest green blooms when they're especially happy. If pollinated, these can develop into small black berries—a special treat that adds another dimension to this already wonderful plant!

While we primarily cherish this plant for its stunning foliage, those rare flowering moments are like little celebration gifts from a thriving plant. Even without blooms, the False Aralia's beautiful leaves make it a star in any plant collection!


How tall does the False Aralia grow?

In your home, a False Aralia typically reaches a lovely height of 3-6 feet (1-2 meters), creating that perfect vertical statement that makes your ceiling feel higher! With enough space, they can grow up to 13 feet ( 4 meters).

We absolutely love how these plants can transform a room with their dramatic presence and height. There's something so special about watching your False Aralia grow taller over the years—like measuring a child's growth on a doorframe!


How fast does the False Aralia grow?

The False Aralia grows at a gentle pace, taking 10-20 years to reach its full height. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy each stage of its development and build a real relationship with your plant as it matures.

More Tapas Please!
Format: Flexibound, Format: Flexibound
If you are bringing kids along to a new city like Barcelona, the Lonely Planet Kids book provides a great introduction for the children. It has very little of the adult stuff about hotels and restaurants and nothing on how much they cost. It is all about sites and experiences. This lonely Planet book is divided into sixteen trails. There are marked starting points for each one on a map of the city, but no directions about getting from one attraction to the next along the trail. That must be the job of the adults. The groupings include history, castles, shopping, sports, parks, outdoor recreations, and food. I think that there should be more on food. There are over eighty pages in the book. Each page is rendered in bright color drawings and photographs. The images and the explanations each take up about the same amount of room, although I think that the images have the advantage. This is a great book for the kids and for adults who want to get the essence of the city without getting bogged down in details.

Really fun and great for homeschooling or travel prep
Format: Flexibound
If you plan on traveling to Barcelona and want to get the kids excited and pumped for the visit, this would be a perfect book to read. There are so many different interesting aspects covered, from Barcelona's fashion week, to interesting wildlife found at the local parks, to statues and local history, that it really makes things rich and interesting. What I love best is the design and layout. There are photographs mixed with drawings mixed with text in different sidebars and bubbles. It's just really fun to read and fun to browse. The one thing that I don't like is that some books like this have a type of stinky ink that gives me an immediate headache. Unfortunately, this book has that stinky ink., and even letting it air out with some of the pages splayed open, has not dissipated the smell.

Inviting layout for kids and very informative!
Format: Flexibound
My 9 year old son loves this book! He is a huge fan of the Lonely Planet books. We have their books on Countries and Cities which he loves and is always pulling off the shelf to read but he loves these new City Trails books even more. If you are familiar with their other kid books this series is very similar. The information is presented in bite size chunks that are about a paragraph long. His favorite part was the the thematic trails which provide the information on a few pages under a different theme throughout the city. He loves the the real pictures of the city and the fun graphics, like cartoon people and information put in a phone. My son loves trivia and fun facts so this book is perfect for him. He loved telling me lots of things I had never heard of before. This was an informational book for him that gave him a lot of great information about the country and culture and would be an excellent choice to prepare for a trip. I remain very impressed with how engaging Lonely Planet makes information inviting to kids. I will definitely be buying him more books in this series.

Easy and exciting
Format: Paperback
3.5⭐️ I didn't know that this book was the third part of the Campus Police series. But it reads well as a stand-alone book. The first two books are about the other two couples who also appear here. This time, the story revolves around Cappy, who is back after a few weeks away and her grandfather's funeral, and Jazz, a librarian with a special flair for decorating her office. In this short time, a lot has changed in Cappy's personal life, and she has to get used to it all again. Brian, a talented football player who was forced to completely change his life after a traffic accident, is found dead. Initially, it is classified as suicide, but Jazz insists on a more thorough investigation of the case, as she is convinced that Brian was looking forward to the future despite adverse circumstances. Cappy is assigned to determine whether it was a crime. The interviews Cappy conducted to uncover all the circumstances and background information were interesting. However, I found it a little strange that a civilian was allowed to attend these interviews. Jazz and Cappy have mutual friends who are all professionally involved with the campus. The banter between them is amusing, and the romance between Cappy and Jazz is nice and sweet. An easy-to-read book with amusing and likable characters, good and witty dialogue, and some suspense.

Very enjoyable read.
Format: Kindle
I believe this is the third installment of the ‘ University Police Series’ and the best part of a series like this is the reader gets to meet up with the cast of characters from Ms Walsh’s first two books. The first book introduced us to a group of professors, four to be exact and in each book we get to read about romance and crime.. The University Campus Police are the ones these professor’s turn to when there is unfortunately a murder on campus. This time it’s Professor Jazz Harald that seeks the help of the police when one of the students she knows has decided to end his own life. Jazz doesn’t believe the police reports so she reaches out to the campus police, Officer Cappy Flannery. Cappy has read the report herself, even visited the apartment where the young student lived. She agrees with the report but she also reluctantly agrees with Jazz the case should be investigated. If you have read the first two books then you’re in for a treat, if you hadn’t read the first two books you might find yourself lost because Walsh brings in everyone or so it seems from the two stories. It might be a good idea to read the first two. Very enjoyable read. ARC via NetGalley/ Bold Stroke Books
