Polyscias ‘Roble’ (Aralia Roble)

Polyscias ‘Roble’ is a beautifully architectural houseplant with elegant, finely textured foliage and an upright, tree-like shape that brings instant structure to any room. Its softly serrated leaves and natural bushy form make it perfect for adding height, calm, and a touch of tropical refinement to living rooms, hallways, and offices. A brilliant choice for anyone wanting a statement plant that still remains easy-going and compact, Polyscias ‘Roble’ thrives with bright light and a simple, steady routine.

Plant Care
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much sun can crisp the edges, but too little will cause leaf drop. A few feet back from a window is perfect.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Let the top 2cm dry out between waterings. Avoid letting it sit dry too long—this one likes consistency.

Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Hates cold air—keep away from draughts, open windows, or chilly conservatories.

Potting: Our Sandy Loam mix is perfect—free-draining, lightly structured, and just right for woody-rooted tropicals like these.

Hot tips: Polyscias love stability. Once they’ve settled into a spot, try not to move them around too much. They appreciate a little humidity—especially in winter—so group with other plants or add a pebble tray to boost the air moisture.

Pet safe: Some Polyscias varieties are and some are mildly toxic. If you have a plant nibbling fur baby then best to keep this one out of reach.
