Fabian Stump
Fabian Stump, or Aralia Fabian (Polyscias scutellaria), is a compact and visually striking plant characterized by its round, glossy, deep green leaves and thick, woody stem that resembles a miniature tree stump. Its sculptural growth habit makes it a perfect choice for adding a touch of elegance and a modern aesthetic to indoor spaces or bioactive vivariums.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Fabian Stump thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, this may result in slower growth and less vibrant foliage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering & Humidity:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. Fabian Stump prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. To boost humidity, use a tray with pebbles and water or mist the plant occasionally.
Temperature Requirement:
The ideal temperature range for Fabian Stump is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect it from temperatures below 60°F (16°C) and keep it away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes to maintain its health.
Special Notes:
Fabian Stump is a slow grower, and its woody stem adds a bonsai-like appearance to its overall charm. Pruning can help shape the plant and maintain its compact size.
This low-maintenance and elegant plant is perfect for enthusiasts seeking a unique and sculptural addition to their indoor plant collection!
