Ming Aralia is a stunning, elegant houseplant known for its lacy, feathery foliage and upright growth. Native to Southeast Asia, it has a tree-like appearance and can grow several feet tall indoors with the right care. Its finely divided leaves give it a delicate, bonsai-like look that makes it a standout in any plant collection.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate medium light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, and keep it away from drafty windows or cold rooms—it likes warmth and consistency. Ideal room temperature is around 65–85°F (18–29°C). Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Ming Aralia doesn’t like to sit in soggy soil, so use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
To keep your Ming Aralia happy, maintain moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally or place it near a humidifier if your indoor air is dry. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. It’s a slow grower, but occasional pruning will help keep it full and bushy. Be patient—it may drop leaves with sudden changes in light or temperature but usually bounces back with steady care. With its graceful form and minimal fuss, Ming Aralia is a gorgeous, long-lived houseplant for any indoor jungle.

Let customers speak for us
from 264 reviewsI am loving my Monstera Swiss Cheese! It arrived in perfect condition - healthy, vibrant, and full of character. The leaves already have that iconic fenestration, and it's thriving in its new spot.
You can tell this plant was cared for before it even got to me,. I appreciate the thoughtful packaging and quick delivery. Definitely one of my new favorites in my collection.

I absolutely love my Schefflera Variegated (Umbrella Plant)! It arrived healthy, vibrant, and has already become a favorite among my houseplants. The variegation is beautiful, and it's adjusting well to its new home.
Appreciate the care you put into packaging and shipping - it really shows. I'll definitely be ordering from The Rooted Plant Shop again! 💚

YES YES and YES! wonderful education and plants. Plant shop with a purpose!
I absolutely LOVE this monthly plant subscription! Every single shipment has been packed with so much care that everything arrives secure, tidy, and damage-free. The plants themselves? Stunning! Each one has shown up happy, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. You can tell they take pride in quality because my plants look like they’ve come straight from a greenhouse into my home. It’s always such a joy to open the box each month and see what new green beauty is waiting inside. If you’re on the fence about subscribing, don’t hesitate. This is hands down one of the best plant subscriptions out there

I love it 😍

Arrived just as seen during the live. Well behaved so far and transitioning well. Happy with my purchase!

Mel, is one of the sweetest shop owners that I know of! She puts her heart and soul into caring and educating plants! There are very few who would rather educate you than to sale you on a plant! That sale is just a bonus for her! Plants are her life, passion and dream along with moose and Jax! You would truly be supporting someone whom is real, caring and down to earth! Let’s not forget to mention the outstanding plants that are in her care! 10/10 recommend! I adore Mel !
She is absolutely stunning! Packaging was great, she got to Pennsolvania so healthy and ready to keep thriving!

It is beautidul Mel! Thank you so much! 10/10 service! You will go so far wirh your business! Your love for plants, knowledge and your hard work wont go unnoticed! 1000% recommended!

I received my plants very well packed and they are doing wonderfully!😁
I love this little plant. As Mel says, it’s dramatic! It will drop to the tabletop when she is thirsty. Give her some water and watch her perk right up. She is very forgiving. I would recommend it for other beginners as well.
