Description
The Schefflera, also known as the Umbrella Tree, is a lush, leafy legend. With glossy green leaflets that fan out like a little umbrella, it brings instant structure and a tropical feel to any room. It’s fast-growing, low-fuss, and perfect for adding a touch of height to your plant corner — just don’t overwater, and it’ll love you back.
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:
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
