From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A Bonsai tree
A dead Idran hybrid Bonsai tree

Bonsai was the Asian art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by growing them in containers.

Wesley Crusher had a Bonsai tree in his guest quarters on board the USS Enterprise-D in 2370. (TNG: "Journey's End")

Keiko O'Brien had a number of Bonsai trees in her quarters aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")

Keiko O'Brien's Bonsai trees were killed while under the care of her husband, Miles O'Brien, while she was visiting the Fire Caves on Bajor in 2373. Doctor Julian Bashir, trying to be helpful, accidentally killed them by over watering. Keiko had been caring for the trees, which were Idran hybrids, for years. (DS9: "The Assignment")
