Schefflera mix on Mosspole 17cm 70-80cm height
Schefflera is a gorgeous genus of shrubs and trees known for its attractive leaf clusters that mimic the shape of an umbrella. In fact, the most common species kept as houseplants, Schefflera actinophylla and Schefflera arboricola, are referred to as umbrella tree and dwarf umbrella tree, respectively.
Light Conditions: Prefer bright, indirect sunlight. An east-facing window is a great spot for your plant. Placing it near a south- or west-facing window, but not directly in the sun’s rays, will also work. Intense, direct sun will burn the leaves!
Water: Watering is needed when the soil is dry, but not abundantly and preferably with water at room temperature.
Temperature & Humidity: This plant thrives in temperatures between 15 & 21 degrees (aka room temperature). As a rule, keep it away from drafts, vents, heaters, etc., to avoid freezing or frying the leaves. As a tropical plant, schefflera appreciates a bit of humidity, so consider setting up a humidifier nearby if your space is dry. A humidity tray will also work for smaller plants.
Height & Growth Rate: 120cm to 240cm tall. Fast growing
Feed: Fertilize regularly during the spring and summer when the plant is growing.
Origin: South Asia and some parts of Australia
Toxicity: Toxic to Pets & Humans if ingested
