Medium indirect. A few feet from a window, or north-facing.

50-60%. Average home humidity is fine.

Likes a snug pot. Standard well-draining potting mix. This plant usually prefers a snug root zone. Size up only when roots are circling, the plant dries out much faster than usual, or growth has clearly stalled. Top up or loosen the surface yearly, and plan a fuller soil refresh when the mix compacts, smells sour, drains poorly, or the plant needs repotting.

Ming Aralia is a tree at intermediate difficulty - manageable with a bit of care attention.
