Japanese aucuba (Aucuba japonica) is an evergreen shrub that grows 6 to 10 feet (2-3 m.) tall with colorful, green and yellow-gold leaves as much as 8 inches (20 cm.) long. The flowers aren’t particularly ornamental, but attractive, bright red berries replace them in the fall if a male plant grows nearby. The flowers and fruit often hide behind the foliage. Aucuba also makes nice container shrubs or houseplants.
Deeper shade means brighter leaf color. Plants tolerate partial sun, but leaves turn black if they get too much sun. Mild temperatures. Japanese aucuba plants survive winters in USDA plant hardiness zones 7a soil through 10. Well-drained soil. The ideal soil is moist with a high organic content, but the plants tolerate most any soil, including heavy clay, as long as it is well drained.
Aucuba shrubs also have moderate drought tolerance, but they grow best in moist soil. Water often enough to keep the soil moderately moist using cold water.

I immediately planted it on my own mix. A week later, plant is already well rooted and established. It acclimated to its new environment well. Shipping and Sri was very timely ???? What’s more impressive is the customer service! They’re very responsive. I highly recommend! Peeranan was very polite and accommodating ????

Great finds –
I really enjoyed working with this seller. He was very responsive to my messages. The plants were packaged very well and arrived healthy. I’ve done a lot of plant importing, and know sometimes plants can look a little rough, but these looked really nice upon opening. I have seen it noted in other reviews, and I can agree that there was not a huge root system, but the plants were healthy! So I can’t complain! Great variegation on all of them, and I received multiple half moons

Big healthy leaf, 1 yellowing leaf and a baby on the way. Roots aren’t the best but I think it can improve with time and care. Took a while to ship but once shipped, the plants arrived within a few days. Packaging was great. All plants arrived healthy.

I always struggle to find plants that will grow in the full sun, clay soil area behind my house, but this plant is hanging in and growing. I can’t wait til the hummingbirds start to come.

Evelyn –
as depicted, both had 3 leaves and lost one
Saint B –
I ordered a few of these and all of them came in amazing condition. Very much on the dry side in the moss which is expected after shipping. Two were literally perfect in every way no rot no crisping very very healthy and plentiful roots. One has a new leaf coming through as it was packaged and the new leaf I think dried out too much (I’m posting this review 6 hours after arriving so it may bounce back but at this point I’m unsure if that leaf will make it) but even if it doesn’t it checked all the other boxes as the other two did. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this seller from what I can tell with my first order. Definitely made a returning customer out of me!
Esther –
Answers questions and delivery on time Plants are healthy.
