Ming Gold Mini leans into its bonsai form, with finely divided leaves perched on sturdy, woody stems that flare out at the base. The gold-tinged foliage adds brightness without being loud, and the shape feels sculpted even without pruning. Its roots are delicate and shallow, so it prefers to be left undisturbed once potted. Small in size but full of character, it brings just the right amount of drama to a desk, shelf, or windowsill.
