Behold: the most adorable, precious little plant to ever grace the inside of my house. Snow Rose (Serissa foetida) ‘Ahiro Pink.’ I squeal in delight every time I look at it. “Foetida” actually means “foul-smelling” in latin, which refers to the putrid odor that comes from cutting this plant’s roots.

This is a popular bonsai plant that is moderately difficult to care for. It is similar to Ficus benjamina in that it’ll drop its leafs at the first sign of stress. It prefers a sunny, warm area and doesn’t like wet roots, so it must be allowed to dry out between watering.
