Polyscias fruticosa aka Ming Aralia

Ming Aralia (Polyscias fruticosa) is an elegant, tropical shrub known for its finely divided, feathery foliage and upright, woody stems. Its lush, lace-like leaves grow in clusters and can range in color from deep green to variegated shades, giving the plant a soft, bushy appearance. Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, the Ming Aralia is a popular indoor plant prized for its ornamental beauty and relatively compact growth. This plant can be grown as a small tree or pruned to maintain a bonsai-like shape, making it a favorite in indoor landscaping and decorative containers. It has a graceful, architectural form, often used to add a vertical, refined element to plant arrangements. Though it can be a bit finicky, especially with watering and temperature, it rewards consistent care with slow but steady growth and a unique, lush look.
