Hi,

I’m looking for a small (5-15cm) a tree-like plant which will live on my work desk. It should also be an easy to maintain and do not grow much.

Currently I do have “gasteria duval” from ikea - it is a easy to have plant, but it becomes bigger and does not look nice anymore :(

Hope for your suggestions! :) Thank you!

    Pilea peperomioides Could also be a great option. I really like mine, it’s lovely to watch it grow and sprout new leaves. It does need quite a bit of light, though.

        Yeah, that’s the one. I don’t think they’re necessarily that big. But if conditions are right, they can become as big as the one in the picture, and a bit taller as well. Mine is definitely smaller (and has been for a while). So I guess it depends on how small you want it to stay.
