Schefflera Elegantissima False Aralia 6817
Schefflera elegantissima, commonly called False Aralia, is a tall, upright houseplant with finely textured, serrated leaves that look almost like lace. The dark, coppery-green foliage starts narrow and delicate when young, then widens slightly and deepens in color as the plant matures. This elegant plant adds a vertical, almost tropical sophistication to interiors—making it perfect for corners, entryways, and modern décor setups.
Plant ID: 6817
🌸 2️⃣ Flower Details
When grown indoors, flowering is rare. In its natural habitat or in ideal greenhouse conditions, mature False Aralia may produce small, greenish-white flowers in loose clusters, followed by tiny fruits. But for most houseplant lovers, it’s all about the gorgeous foliage.
