Fatshedra lizei I think?

Looks like an Olympia to me.

if it's olympia (and it does look it) - it's not a true aralia. it's a 'false aralia'

Will, can you post a different photo?

I can't see its foliage.

Are leaves whole, or flimsy? Toni

Did it come from Exotic Angel/Herman Engelman? The pic they show for that plant is a lot lighter green than the ones I got (with this label of theirs) earlier this year. The link above goes to all EA Aralias, here's direcly to Olympia, Dizygotheca Elegantissima.

Will, are you still around? Do you still have this plant?

Definitely looks like 'Olympia' to me.

Hi Justin,

Yes, this is Olympia of whom I was asking just last week. I found a small one locally & I was gripping abt the confusing name change. then I saw this thread.

Am experimenting w/ this in gritty mix (my first time Non Hoya use of it.) Seems OK so far, am watering maybe every 3rd or 4th day, one of the shoots starts to lean a bit to tell me ;>)

Let's see if I can find a pic:

Sorry, not the best pix, but that's it.

Bump, in hopes Justin is around.

Hey Will07,

I've found that, especially when it's young, your Olympia false aralia (AKA Plerandra elegantissima AKA Schefflera elegantissima AKA Dizygotheca elegantissima) likes above-average humidity and moist (but never consistently soggy) potting mix. It can also be a little sensitive to drafts, such as from heating or cooling vents.

Shout if you have any other questions!
