Common Problems Q&A:

Why are my leaves yellowing?
This may be due to a lack of nutrients, re-potting or adding fertilizer may help this issue. Over-watering and sudden temperature changes could also be a reason for this issue.

What pest problems do Aralia plants have?
If an Aralia is properly cared for, there shouldn't be any serious disease or fungus issues. Watch out for Mealybugs sucking the plant juices, Nematodes, White Flies, Aphids (aka Plant Lice).

Why are my leaves dropping?
Low humidity and inadequate soil moisture may be causing this issue. Misting the foliage with distilled or filtered water may help.
