Last year in January I was working in a restaurant and they had these two huge Japanese Aralia's. I asked my boss if i could have one of it's off spring. He said yes, so I took it gently out with a good amount of root. Brought her home and planted her. She grew wonderfully for the first 5 months then she just stopped growing.I opened her up to see if maybe root rot or if she was to dry. Her root system looks great. Although, she has not grown yet.I'm wondering if maybe some one would know what could have happened. I've read all up on her but i don't see as though I'm doing anything wrong maybe someone would have some knowledge on my problem. Thank you omni
