Umbrella Plant – Schefflera / Umbrella Tree
Bring elegant, tropical sophistication to your home with the Umbrella Plant (Schefflera arboricola or Schefflera actinophylla), a classic indoor favorite known for its glossy, hand-shaped leaves that radiate outward like the spokes of an umbrella. This lush, evergreen beauty features clusters of shiny, oval leaflets atop sturdy stems, creating a full, tree-like form that adds instant height and lush greenery to any room.
Often sold as a compact dwarf variety (S. arboricola) or the larger classic form, it's perfect as a statement floor plant in living rooms, offices, or entryways—delivering that effortless, exotic vibe with minimal fuss.

Adaptable to indoor conditions; adds vertical drama without needing constant pampering
Glossy leaves that stay vibrant and help purify indoor air
Quick Care Tips
Light: Bright indirect light is best (east/west window ideal); tolerates medium light but may grow leggy in low light. Can handle some morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays to prevent scorching.
Watering: Water when the top 2–5 cm of soil feels dry (roughly every 1–2 weeks). Allow it to dry out slightly between waterings—overwatering leads to root rot, while it handles brief dryness well. Always use pots with drainage.
Soil: Well-draining potting mix, ideally peat-based or amended with perlite for aeration.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts to average indoor levels; occasional misting or a pebble tray helps in dry climates.
Temperature: Thrives at 18–27°C; keep above 15°C and protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
Extra Love: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Prune leggy stems or tips to encourage bushier growth and propagate easily from cuttings.
Tough, stylish, and wonderfully easygoing, the Umbrella Plant is a timeless choice for anyone wanting big tropical impact with little effort—perfect for beginners and seasoned plant parents alike!
