Schefflera Arboricola 'Umbrella'

The Schefflera Arboricola, or 'Umbrella Plant', is a lush and versatile houseplant renowned for its long, finger-like leaves that spread out like the spokes of an umbrella. This plant is a popular choice for bringing a touch of the tropics indoors, thanks to its easy-going nature and attractive, dense foliage.

Sun Schedule: Enjoys bright, indirect light but is quite adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions. In optimal lighting, the 'Umbrella Plant' shows off its vibrant green leaves to their best advantage.

Pet Friendly: It's important to note that the 'Umbrella Plant' is not pet-friendly. Keep it out of reach of pets to prevent any potential harm.

Size: Typically found in a 6"-10" pot, it can grow to a height of 3-6 feet, making it a striking addition to any indoor space. Its size and shape make it perfect for filling corners or as a standalone feature plant.

Care Intensity: This plant is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for beginners as well as more experienced plant owners. It's forgiving and robust, ideal for those looking for a low-maintenance yet visually impactful plant.

Water Schedule: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, about every 1-2 weeks. Be careful not to overwater, as the 'Umbrella Plant' prefers its soil to be on the drier side.

Grower Tip: If you notice the leaves losing their luster or becoming leggy, consider moving the plant to a brighter spot. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage fuller growth. Dusting the leaves will not only keep them looking great but also promote better photosynthesis.
