What makes Aralia Bianca look so finely textured? Each leaf divides into narrow, serrated leaflets arranged like fingers, with creamy-white edges distinguishing Bianca from green false aralia varieties. This cream-edged false aralia has an airy silhouette rather than the broad, solid leaves of many tropical houseplants. Its delicate-looking foliage grows on upright, woody stems, giving this variegated indoor shrub a miniature tree-like appearance.
