Bring a bold, dramatic flair to your space with the Plerandra elegantissima, also known as the False Aralia. This tropical beauty features deep green, finely serrated leaves that start coppery-bronze and darken with age. With its slim, upright form and architectural texture, it adds a touch of modern elegance to any indoor garden or design-focused corner.
