The “Aralia Ball Golden,” which is a cultivar of Polyscias balfouriana or Polyscias fruticosa, is a popular houseplant known for its dense, rounded shape and beautiful, finely cut or variegated foliage. It’s a great choice for adding a touch of elegance to your indoor space, but it can be a bit sensitive to changes in its environment.
Here is a comprehensive care guide for your Aralia ‘Golden Ball’:
Light
- Bright, Indirect Light is Ideal: This is the most crucial factor for a healthy Aralia ‘Golden Ball’. Place it near a window where it will receive plenty of filtered sunlight. A north or east-facing window is often a perfect spot.
- Avoid Direct Sun: Direct, intense sunlight can easily scorch the delicate leaves, especially the golden parts. This will result in brown, crispy spots.
- Tolerates Lower Light: While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it may grow more slowly and lose some of its vibrant golden color. If the plant becomes leggy (long, sparse stems), it’s a sign it needs more light.
Watering
- Keep Soil Consistently Moist but Not Soggy: Aralias are very sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering. The key is to find a balance.
- Watering Schedule: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. In the summer and spring (the growing season), you’ll likely water more frequently. In the fall and winter, reduce the frequency as the plant’s growth slows.
- Drainage is Critical: Always use a pot with drainage holes. Allowing the plant to sit in standing water can quickly lead to root rot, which is often fatal.
- Signs of Over/Underwatering:
- Overwatering: Yellowing, wilting leaves, or a musty smell from the soil.
- Underwatering: Drooping leaves and dry, crispy leaf edges.
Soil
- Well-Draining, Rich Potting Mix: A good soil mix will allow for proper drainage while retaining some moisture.
- Recommended Mix: A standard indoor potting mix with some added perlite or coarse sand for extra drainage is a good option.
Humidity and Temperature
- High Humidity is a Must: Aralias are tropical plants and thrive in high humidity. Low humidity can cause leaf drop and brown, crispy leaf tips.
- How to Increase Humidity:
- Use a humidifier near the plant.
- Place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water.
- Group it with other plants to create a microclimate.
- Warm Temperatures: Maintain a consistent warm temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect your plant from cold drafts, as sudden drops in temperature can cause it to drop its leaves.
Fertilizing
- During the Growing Season: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength, once a month during spring and summer.
- Winter: Stop fertilizing in the fall and winter months.
Pruning
- Maintain Shape: The ‘Golden Ball’ is known for its compact, rounded shape. Regular pruning is key to maintaining this appearance.
- Pruning Technique: Pinch back the growing tips to encourage a bushier, denser growth habit. You can also trim off any dead, yellowed, or damaged leaves as needed.
Pests
- Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs, especially if the humidity is low. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
