ABOUT OUR POLYSCIAS FABIAN
Hey there, I’m Lucian the Polyscias Fabian. I also go by Aralia Fabian but I think we’re going to be good friends so please call me Lucian. My small and compact size is ideal for making sure every nook of your home is covered with vibrant greenery. With a stunning thick trunk I’m hardly your average houseplant. If you look closely you’ll see that every leaf I produce has its own patterns, shades and colour.
In my natural habitat you can find me in Polynesia. Here, with my other 80 species we love the sunny and warm environment the pacific islands can provide. When it comes to my care I’m not particularly picky but I do prefer a humid environment. High levels of humidity will help keep my foliage fresh, glossy and crisp free. If you need any further tips on increasing humidity in your home, you can find more information here. Make sure you keep me in a room that is at least 20ºC otherwise you may notice my lovely foliage start to curl.
I’m the type of iconic plant that would look sleek and stylish as a centerpiece for your dining room table.
Big Height (including nursery pot) 80-90cm; pot diameter 21cm.
