A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Bianca Aralia

My mom got a plant and gave it to me( this plant is what sparked my interest in gardening) and I don't know what it is, please help me.

how in the world do you post pics?

I think I figured it out.

Is it a Dizygotheca elegantissima "False aralia"?

Rubberbandman,
Just so you know, I only fixed your pictures
so they would all line up in a row, and not go
off the page..

Also fixed your top URL, and deleted it,
as it didn't go anywheres and was also going
off the end of the page...

P/S Very cool lookin' plant you have there..

thanks so much

Looks like a false aralia to me too. I've heard conflicting opinions on where it should be located and cared for...I know it needs brightness-how much depends on who you ask. Water is also questionable. All in all, I think I know what your plant is, but I really don't know how to care for it, as is evident from my own false aralia that's currently under attack from spider mites and losing leaves like crazy...I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone comes by with something more concrete...

I'm not so sure. I looked up false aralia on a yahoo images search and the ones that they show have really spindly looking leaves my plant has broader, shorter leaves.

actually I went further in on my search and I think I figured it out. I believe it to be an Bianca Aralia. But if it wasn't for you guys I would never have known to look at the speices of aralia so thanks.
