Description
Schefflera luseana, often called the Umbrella Tree, is a tropical beauty with glossy green leaflets that fan out like an umbrella. Its elegant, architectural form makes it a striking choice for bright living spaces, offices, or conservatories. This variety grows into a tall, tree-like houseplant with lush foliage that instantly brings a tropical vibe indoors.
Plant Care
Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light, but can tolerate lower light too. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch its leaves.
Watering:
Let the top half of the soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the main no-no — Scheffleras prefer to stay on the drier side.
Temperature:
Due to the nature of this plant - we aren't able to ship this plant.
Happy in 18–26°C. Keep above 12°C, and avoid cold draughts or sudden temperature swings.
Potting:
Our A Sandy Loam mix is ideal — free-draining with enough moisture retention for consistent, steady growth.
Hot tips:
This one loves a bit of humidity but doesn’t need it to thrive. Rotate occasionally for even growth. Prune to shape or tame any wild upward ambitions.
Pet Friendly: No
