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!

    The size constraint of fitting on a desk is going to be the biggest limiter. A dwarf fruit/citrus tree or rubber ficus is probably your best best if you've got a window spot.

        Meyer lemons & Kaffir Limes immediatly jump to mind, but ive heard good things about dwarf plums & dwarf blueberry bushes, would have to look into them farther. All of these will require root & branch pruning after a year or two, but that's basically all woody plants if you wanna keep them desktop smoll.
