Description
The Broad Leaf Aralia is a tall, slender plant with large, rounded green leaves arranged along a narrow upright stem, giving it a unique sculptural presence. Its airy vertical form and dramatic leaf shape make it ideal for creating visual height without taking up too much space on the floor.
This variety is especially loved for its minimalist yet artistic appeal. The contrasting textures — a woody stem and soft broad leaves — make it a favourite in modern living rooms, balconies, or office corners where clean lines meet greenery.
Easy to manage and tolerant of indoor conditions, the Broad Leaf Aralia thrives in indirect light and doesn’t require frequent watering. Over time, it becomes more graceful as it grows taller, forming a natural column of green.
