Unknown interesting houseplant

I purchased this interesting plant. Can you identify it and let me know a little about it and it’s care?

Hi,

Your plant is called a Ming Aralia. Here are some care tips on how to care for a Ming Aralia. You can read more about the plant in the Popular HousePlant section of the website.

Light: Aralia Plants can survive in low light conditions, but grow faster and produce more leaves in medium to bright indirect light.
Water: Too much water, resulting in root rot, is the main reason Aralia Plants die. Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before watering an Aralia Plant. In low light conditions, an Aralia Plant may need water as little as every 2-3 weeks.
Fertilizer: An Aralia Plant requires very little fertilizer. Feed an Aralia Plant every other month when it’s actively growing with a plant food high in nitrogen at 1/2 the recommended strength.
Temperature: Aralia Plants prefer temperatures between 60-85 degrees.
