ming tree

The slender, mainly upright stems of this striking and relatively unfussy house plant are clothed with fern-like foliage, creating a lush, tropical effect.
Please note that the basket pot cover in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. - Home care: Water moderately when in growth, allowing the top of the compost to dry out before repeating the process, and keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves occasionally with water and make sure winter temperatures are maintained above 15°C. Repot every couple of years.
