The Ming Aralia indoor bonsai tree, also called the polyscias futicosa, is a great tropical bonsai that brings with it a touch of the tropics. It looks somewhat different from standard bonsai, and some people say it even has an exotic appeal to it. While it may look somewhat fragile, it’s actually pretty easy to grow. Beginners will be able to keep it growing even if they don’t have much experience with bonsai. The Ming Aralia features fairly dense but also fairly delicate leaves that stand out in stark contrast to the rugged back. This actually makes the bonsai look more like an outdoor plant rather than an indoor one. However, don’t put it outside—the Ming Aralia is sensitive to the cold. This bonsai tends to mature slowly
The Ming Aralia bonsai needs a good amount of light, but be careful that you don’t end up causing any scorching. It also needs a good amount of water. Don’t let it get incredibly dry, but do let the soil dry out just a little bit between watering. Otherwise, there’s a small chance you could end up giving your Ming Aralia too much water, leading to root rot and other health issues.
