Growing tips:
- - The species and varieties of Polyscias are useful foliage plants suitable for growing in semi shade in ground and in pot.
- They form well shaped plants in pots and are popular house plant.
- The colour of the leaves is attractive in bright light but not directly under full sun, particularly in the summer months.
