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.

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.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.
