The Aralia Ming Parsley bonsai is a charming cultivar of Polyscias fruticosa, often called “Parsley Aralia” due to its finely divided, ruffled foliage closely resembling parsley leaves. This tropical evergreen shrub is celebrated in bonsai form for its delicate texture, upright growth, and graceful, feathery appearance.

Key Features:

Foliage: Deep green, intricately cut leaves resembling curly parsley, giving it a soft, lace-like texture.
Growth Habit: Upright and compact with multiple stems or a sculpted trunk, making it ideal for bonsai shaping.
Trunk: Smooth and woody, often styled for visual interest with twists or subtle curves.
Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm, humid indoor environments (ideal range: 65–85°F / 18–29°C).
Growth Rate: Slow-growing, making it easy to maintain its miniature form.

No, this plant is not pet-friendly. Certain plants can be toxic to animals, potentially causing a range of physical symptoms, from discomfort to death, if consumed. While some animals show little interest in houseplants, others may be tempted to bite, chew, and ingest them. Call your vet immediately if your pet eats a poisonous plant or is showing any signs of toxicity.

This plant thrives in the following light condition(s):

BRIGHT LIGHT: Bright light is needed for this plant to stay healthy. Plants that are exposed to "bright light" or "full sun" receive direct sunlight without any obstacles, such as curtains, blinds, tall trees, or buildings that create shade. This sort of exposure commonly happens when a plant is positioned in a sunny window, enabling it to receive the most intense and direct indoor light.

MEDIUM LIGHT: This plant needs medium-light or filtered light. Medium light occurs when there is a diffusion of light, such as that provided by sheer curtains and the light source, like a sunny window. This type of lighting is often referred to as "dappled sunlight." Any obstruction partially blocking the path between your plant and the light source creates a medium-light environment.

If the soil is bone dry, water the plant every two weeks. Some succulents prefer being watered every two to three weeks during the cold season. Periodically review and modify the watering schedule to accommodate variations in temperature throughout the year. Watch for yellowing leaves, as they can be a sign of over- or under-watering. Sometimes, leaves turn yellow for other reasons that may not be immediately noticeable.

Overwintered tropical plants generally thrive in temperatures similar to those preferred by humans. They typically do well in daytime temperatures ranging from 70 to 80ºF (21 to 27ºC) and nighttime temperatures between 55 and 65ºF (13 to 18ºC).

The placement of plants is crucial for creating the right atmosphere and look in our space. When situating plants in your home or office, it’s important to think about how extreme temperatures and surroundings, especially during summer and winter, can affect them. For example, cold drafts and direct sunlight can harm a plant’s leaves and overall health, potentially causing them to die. Being close to heaters and air conditioning units can also cause damage. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider where you place your plants. Avoid putting them near heaters, air conditioning units, or in areas with cold drafts from windows or doors, as these elements can significantly affect the well-being and lifespan of your plants.

It's important to note that this particular plant does not necessitate misting. In fact, misting can cause brittle roots and moldy leaves, so it's best to avoid it.

Use a soft brush or dry cloth to dust plant leaves every three weeks.
