Great for beginners

6" to 8" W12" to 18" H

Honestly, we love this plant so much. Yes, it’s definitely a stump but what a gorgeous one. Unusual and full of character, they love bright light as much as indirect light, and are really happy to go a while between waterings. As they mature, they grow upwards of 3’ to 4’ and appear much more shrub-like than anything. Native to the Pacific Islands, their leaves are green on the sun-side and purple on their underside.

Totally unique and utterly adorable, our aralia ming stump for delivery will add an eye-catching touch to your home. Its fluffy foliage makes it one of the most distinct shrub plants, with a pale green color on top and deep purple on the bottom. Not only is it easy to care for, it also acts as a natural air purifier.

Roots

Cultivated in several countries of Southeast Asia and the tropical islands of the Pacific region.

Fun Facts

Though toxic to animals, the Ming Aralia (and we do not recommend this) has long been used in traditional medicine as a tonic, and noted to have anti-inflammation, anti-toxin, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. It is also used against dysentery, neuralgia, rheumatism, and digestion-related ailments.

Customer Reviews

A pick me up gift ...

Our daughter loved the plant!

Sent as a gift and it was a seamless and enjoyable experience

I sent an Aralia Ming to a friend who has just lost a dear companion. I can't speak to how the plant looked on arrival but I received great praise from the recipient. The process was simple, the order went out quickly, and delivery was made during a holiday week (usually delayed this time of year). Will definitely use Lively Root again! If you don't yet own an Aralia Ming, you need to fix that asap

Perfect addition!

Bought this plant for my brother who lives in FL. Arrived in perfect condition with quick shipping. He is loving his plant. Will be ordering again from this company.

Sweet

This plant is sweet and arrived beautifully.

A beautiful addition to my little plant family

This Ming stump arrived well packaged and in good health! The foliage on this little stump is beautiful and it has only continued to feather out on the top. It is a stunning addition to my living room and I keep it healthy with a little humidity during the week as the air gets dry. Great for beginners, a delightful simple little guy for those with more experience. It even comes with a helpful little starter card that will give you the basics about your plant!

The plant arrived in great condition and is thriving. We love the plant.

Nice Ming Aralia
