Polyscias fruticosa
Marshall is, of course, the real Slim Shady. The name Polyscias means many-shaded, referring to the various green hues its foliage creates. Its stumpy trunk and dense covering of leaves creates a miniature forest look for your interior.
Medium to bright indirect light. Direct light will burn its leaves.
Once a week. Keeping soil slightly moist helps.
Toxic to pets if consumed in large amounts.
Medium: about 20" tall and a pot size of 6".
It's like a small forest delivered to your door.
Pro-tip: Don't let the soil dry out completely. Consistently pruning new growth will encourage thickening of its trunk.
