Balfour Aralia: Elegant Foliage for Your Home and Garden

Polyscias scutellaria 'Balfourii', commonly known as Balfour Aralia, is a stunning ornamental plant with round, scalloped green leaves that create a lush and elegant appearance. This tropical shrub can grow up to 2-3 meters tall, making it ideal as an indoor houseplant, a decorative garden shrub, or a natural privacy screen. Its compact growth and attractive foliage make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts looking for a unique and low-maintenance addition to their collection.

In Singapore’s warm and humid climate, Balfour Aralia thrives best in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top layer of soil feels dry to prevent overwatering. High humidity is beneficial, so occasional misting can help keep the plant healthy. Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support its vibrant foliage. Pruning can be done to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect the plant from strong winds and heavy rains to prevent leaf damage.

Enhance your indoor or outdoor space with the lush beauty of Balfour Aralia! Whether as a striking statement plant or a natural screen, this versatile and elegant shrub is a great choice. Bring one home today and enjoy the refreshing greenery it adds to your environment!
