6 Aralia Balfouriana, Rare Indoor House Plants, Exotic Live Plants

Aralia balfouriana, also known as Balfour aralia or dinner plate aralia, is a terrific shrubby and elegantly leafy houseplant that can anchor a room with its presence. Native to New Guinea and Queensland, Australia, this plant is the perfect addition to your home decor, effortlessly blending beauty and tranquility with its variegated green-and-cream foliage and graceful appearance.

The upright growth habit of your new Aralia balfouriana makes it an excellent choice for corners, empty spaces, or as a stunning centerpiece in your living space. The height of the plant can be easily managed through pruning to achieve the desired look. The firm round leaves, predominantly green with irregular creamy white borders, have indented or notched (crenate) to toothed (dentate) margins, adding to the plant's visual appeal.

To ensure the healthy growth of your Aralia balfouriana, it is essential to provide it with bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing the delicate foliage to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Overwatering can also cause root rot, so it is important to allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering again. Ensure that the pot you use has proper drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Aralia balfouriana thrives in higher humidity levels, and maintaining optimal humidity can be achieved through regular misting, using a humidifier, grouping plants, or placing a tray of water near the plant. It is also crucial to avoid exposing the plant to drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as this can be detrimental to its well-being.

While a portion of your Plants for Pets purchase is donated to local animal shelters to fund adoption services and more, please note that Aralia balfouriana is not a pet-friendly plant. It is essential to keep it out of reach of curious dogs and cats to ensure their safety.
