Growing a dwarf variety of plants such as Dwarf Aralia or Dwarf Oleander in small single plant net pots can be a delightful way to add greenery to limited spaces like apartments or small gardens. Here’s a guide to help you successfully cultivate these plants in such conditions:
Dwarf Aralia (Polyscias fruticosa ‘Nana’)
Description
- Scientific Name: Polyscias fruticosa ‘Nana’

- Family: Araliaceae
- Origin: Southeast Asia
Features
- Size: Typically grows to 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) tall indoors.
- Leaves: Finely divided, lacy, green foliage that gives a delicate, airy appearance.
- Growth Habit: Compact, bushy, and slow-growing.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate moderate light but may become leggy in low light.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix with organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well.

- Humidity: Prefers higher humidity. Regular misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray can help.
Care Tips
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh soil.
- Pest Control: Watch for spider mites and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use fresh soil and ensure good drainage.
- Pest Control: Watch for scale insects and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
Tips for Growing in Small Net Pots
- Pot Size: Use a small net pot with adequate drainage holes. Ensure the pot is appropriate for the plant’s root system.
- Hydroponics: Net pots can be used in hydroponic systems with proper nutrient solutions and pH levels.
- Support: Provide support if the plant becomes top-heavy. Use stakes or small trellises.
- Placement: Place the pots in locations that meet the light requirements of the plants. Ensure they are accessible for regular watering and care.
By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow and maintain Dwarf Aralia and Dwarf Oleander in small net pots, enhancing your space with their unique beauty and charm.
