How to fertilize Ming Aralia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Ming Aralia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hi everyone’s, My name is Tracy, my husband passed away recently and he’s had this Ming in his family for 100 years he received it from his mom in 1972. This plant means a lot to my family, I don’t know much about growing plants, he was the one with the green thumb. I’m just wondering if it’s healthy looking, because the leaves in the middle are dry and fall off but not too many and there’s a few leaves that are tinted yellow. I also would love some recommendations for fertilizer, and how do I change the dirt, I don’t want to hurt the plant or have it develop root rot or shock. Attached below is some of the instructions he posted but I don’t know if that’s necessarily healthy for the plant. Any help or tips would be appreciated Thank you #beginner #help #MingAralia

Yellowing Leaves Hey all, so I have had this Ming Aralia for about 6 weeks and no matter what I try there are yellowing leaves, I don't think it's under watered or over watered, anyone have any experience with these plants?

This is my bright light corner. Up in the hanger you will spot a wild Hermes. When I first got him I thought we were gonna lose him. Dropping branches left and right. I wanted to give hime some peace in this cute hanger to live out the rest of his life. But he LOVES it up there. And has lots of beautiful new branches. Meanwhile Sir.Hiss in the back (snake plant) is suffering from neglect.

Not happy plant. I have a rather large Ming that seems to be getting more unhappy. As you can see from the photos it’s got a decent amount of yellowing leaves, some burnt looking, and generally droopiness. i moved it away from any direct sun last week. Not sure if it has made much difference. Any thoughts and help would be great! #MingAralia
