Bonsai
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Bonsai was the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by growing them in containers. The art was widely believed to have started in China during the early history of the Human race, and later developed into many new forms in various parts of Japan and other Asian regions on the planet Earth.
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'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")
