Aralia racemosa aka Indianroot

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Indianroot due to its easy-going nature.

Indianroot should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Indianroot loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

The growth rate of Indianroot is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.

Indianroot’s native range is Eastern N. America - Quebec to Georgia, west to Kansas and Minnesota.
