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.

Plant Bio

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.

It’s a fairy tree🤩

Healthy Ming

Nice size healthy Ming Aralia tree, very happy with purchase.

Bittersweet!

This is a bittersweet purchase as I will explain. Many, many years ago, my husband gifted me with a Ming Aralia for my birthday. I loved it as it was the most beautiful delicate plant I had ever seen. Unfortunately, my (then) 2 year old child plucked every branch off of it except for the very top branch. I was so sad and cried. I never replaced it, but this year...in a few weeks will be my 50th wedding anniversary so I purchased another and I was not disappointed...it is so lovely and I will cherish it and Faithfully care for it. Unfortunately, my dear husband is not here to enjoy it with me - he died 7 years ago, but this exquisite plant brings fond memories of him. Thank you.

Each One is Unique!

I’m up to three Mings now and each one is unique and different from the others! It’s like they have their own personality! All arrived healthy and thriving!

PERFECT!

Everything about my interaction and product was perfect. It arrived quickly, in excellent condition, looking perky and happy, which makes ME perky and happy!

Great job!

The Ming Aralia came in perfect condition. I’m very grateful to have this plant. My grandma kept one alive that had been in the family for over 100 years. She passed away in July... Even though she is gone and the original plant died years ago, it makes me happy that I can keep the family tradition going with the plant you sent me. Thank you!
