Schefflera is a lively and lush plant that features leaves that form a pattern that looks like an umbrella. This gives it its common name ‘Umbrella Tree’. It makes for a great houseplant as it is very tolerant of indoor conditions, including the AC.

Schefflera is native to Australia, as well as New Guinea. It loves bright indirect light and higher humidity but will do well in almost any environment. It can grow 6 feet tall indoors given the right conditions.

This plant produces flowers in the wild, but indoors, Scheffleras rarely bloom!

The Schefflera is an incredibly easy-going plant. It will adapt to almost any light condition, although it prefers a bright spot medium to bright indirect light. If the plant becomes leggy, increase its light.

It will probably need a drink twice a week. Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry. More in the summer months, less in winter and the monsoon. Take care not to over-water.
