A favourite for interior styling, it delivers that “indoor mini-tree” look without demanding much space. Polyscias are known for their steady growth and beautifully architectural silhouette, making this an ideal choice for living rooms, offices, hallways, and anyone wanting a stylish, easygoing statement plant. If you’re looking for something a bit different from a standard ficus or monstera, this is a true standout.

Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is best. It’ll tolerate some light shade but needs good brightness to stay bushy and full. Avoid direct sun—it can scorch those delicate leaves.

Watering: Let the top 3–5cm of soil dry out between waterings. This one hates wet feet and inconsistent watering—aim for a steady rhythm.

Temperature: Loves warmth—ideally 18–26°C. Hates cold drafts or sudden temperature drops, so keep it cosy and stable.

Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is ideal—light, structured, and drains well while holding enough moisture for its woody roots.

Hot tips: Doesn’t like to be moved around—once it’s happy, leave it be. Prune occasionally to shape and encourage a full, tree-like look. Can drop leaves if stressed but usually bounces back with a bit of consistency.

Pet Friendly: NO
