Aralia Fabian's upward growth habit is ideal for someone looking for scale with limited space. Thanks to its pleasing, regular foliage, this plant is sometimes called 'Dinner Plate Aralia.' The latin name Polyscias derives from Greek, with 'poly' meaning many and the 'scias' translating to shade, in reference to slow growth. Scutellaria' is derived from Latin, translating to 'a small dish, tray or platter", which is in reference to the shape of the calyx. The Fabian releases 97% of the water you give them into the atmosphere, which will help boost the humidity in your home.
