The Aralia Ming Stump, also known as the Ming Aralia or Ming Tree, is an exotic and highly decorative live indoor plant prized for its elegant, lacy, and fern-like foliage.
This tropical evergreen shrub is native to the Southwest Pacific, including India and the tropical Pacific Islands, where it can grow quite tall.
The Ming Aralia is noted for its ability to help purify the indoor air. It's especially valued for its fine-textured, multi-layered foliage and its unique, sculptural "stump" base, which makes it a stunning focal point.
When grown outdoors in its native tropical habitat, the plant may produce small, inconspicuous yellow or white flowers in the summer. However, it rarely, if ever, flowers when kept as an indoor houseplant. The beauty of this plant is primarily in its foliage.

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate light shade or moderate indirect light, but may become leggy or drop lower leaves if light is too low.
Water thoroughly when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. It likes to be consistently moist but never soggy. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months.
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix.
Prefers warmer temperatures, ideally between 65 °F- 85 °F. It is very cold-sensitive.
Fertilizer this plant with a diluted houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season in spring-summer.
