Mary Jane Threadleaf Aralia Tradescantia where it will reward youMary Jane Threadleaf Aralia, also known as spider aralia is grown for its attractive foliage. The long, narrow, dark green leaves with saw tooth edges are coppery colored at first, but as they mature they turn dark green, appearing almost black. Bright light causes dark, blackish green color on mature leaves. Threadleaf Aralia is usually purchased as a tabletop plant, but with proper care, it can grow 5 to 6 feet tall over a period of several years.
