Dizygotheca (Dizigotheca eleganissima; false aralia; thread-leaf)

Botanically speaking, this indoor shrub, which reaches five feet tall, is a dizygotheca-but asking for it by that name wouldn’t get you far in the supermarket. In ordinary trade, it remains Aralia elegantissima. Elegant it is, but by no means as delicate as the foliage might lead you to believe.

Light

This plant need little light and will thrive for years with only artificial overhead light. However, a summer chance does it good. Put it outdoors under a tree where sunlight is well filtered. Tie plant to a stake to avoid wind damage.

Water

Water thoroughly once every week to keep your dizygotheca in peak shape. Supply good bottom drainage. Leaf drop may result from either too dry or waterlogged soil.

Special Help

Use a standard potting soil mixture. Feed established plants lightly every two weeks only during active growth period-early spring trough summer. Propagate by root division.
