Polyscias fruticosa – Ming Stump
A refined, airy houseplant with elegant, finely divided foliage that brings texture and height to any indoor setting. Polyscias fruticosa, commonly known as the Ming Stump, features a sturdy, sculptural trunk topped with delicate, fern-like leaves that create a soft, layered look. Its natural bonsai-style form makes it perfect for adding a sophisticated, botanical accent to living rooms, offices, and entryways.
Despite its intricate appearance, the Ming Stump is relatively easygoing when kept in stable conditions. It prefers consistent light, moderate humidity, and regular watering that keeps the soil lightly moist without becoming soggy.
Care Requirements
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but may grow more slowly.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid extremes of overwatering or letting it fully dry out.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to higher humidity.
• Growth Habit: Woody trunk with soft, feathery foliage that creates an elegant, upright display.
Pet Safety
Polyscias species are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs
