LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Shield aralia prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some shade. Direct sunlight can cause leaf scorching, so it is best to avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Shield aralia prefers evenly moist soil, but not soggy or waterlogged conditions. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and avoid letting the soil completely dry out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the pot has adequate drainage.
• Shield aralia prefers moderate to high humidity levels, which can be achieved by placing a humidifier near the plant, or by placing a tray of water near the plant and misting the leaves regularly.
