Anyone heard of this plant or had it in their tanks? Ideas where to buy it?

I have several tanks with ming aralia in them and they do GREAT. I got mine from a local green house here in Louisiana. they are one of my favorite plants and very easy to care for.

Ming aralia

These are really cool plants. You can purchase them at online at http://www.rhapisgardens.com/catalog/ming-list.htm, or you can almost always find them at Home Depot or a gardening center which carries houseplants. They are relatively slow growing and love high humidity and bright filtered light. The plant should be placed in a location where the soil can dry out between waterings. Too much water and they yellow and shed their leaves. I haven't tried one in a vivarium, but I would imagine they would do very well.

I have tried them in vivaria before and had some success. I had most success with setups that have computer fans running. They really don't like to be saturated.

It's funny, I used to have some as houseplants and people thought I was growing cannibas...lol. I guess I can see the resemblence.
