Dizygotheca Elegantissima, also known as spider aralia, purple spider plant or threadleaf aralia, is usually grown for its attractive foliage. This easy-to-care houseplant has long, narrow, dark green leaves in a dark purple (almost black!) colour with a shiny finish.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced plant lovers, this houseplant is surprisingly low-maintenance. This native to  New Caledonia plant thrives in indirect light and requires minimal care. Simply keep it away from direct sunlight and water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Dizygotheca Elegantissima thrives in medium indirect light. It prefers a spot where it can receive filtered sunlight, avoiding direct rays that could harm its delicate leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your False Aralia moderately, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Ideal temperatures for your False Aralia range from 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from draughty windows and doors during the colder months to avoid sudden temperature drops.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant enjoys a bit of humidity which can be maintained by misting the leaves occasionally or using a pebble tray. However, it’s pretty adaptable and can tolerate lower humidity levels as well.

🪴 Repotting

Repot your False Aralia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water accumulation and encourage healthy root growth.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is safe for pets. You can keep it within reach of your furry friends without worry.

🏠 Recommended locations at home

Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light and away from direct airflows from heating or air conditioning.

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
