Polyscias scutellaria 'Balfourii' - Balfour aralia & pot cover combination

  • Position: bright indirect light
  • Soil: good potting compost
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Current height: approximately 40cm (including pot)
  • Pot cover: includes a 14cm pot cover

    The rounded, lobed leaves of this striking house plant look a little like a geranium, but they have a leathery texture and an irregular creamy variegation. An excellent and unusual addition to the collection, it is mainly grown for its foliage, but every so often it may also produce airy sprays of greenish-yellow flowers.

  • Home care: Water moderately when in growth, allowing the top of the compost to dry out before repeating the process, and keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves occasionally with water and make sure winter temperatures are maintained above 15°C. Repot every couple of years.
