| Description | The Schefflera Arboricola is a plant in the family Araliaceae, native to Taiwan as well as Hainan. Its common name is dwarf umbrella tree, as it resembles a smaller version of the umbrella tree, Schefflera actinophylla. This shapely plant will instantly upgrade any space in your home or office space. It Thrives in bright indirect to medium indirect light.Schefflera plants are fast growing plants, especially if planted outdoors, where they can add three feet per year. Indoor plants are slower growing, especially if you keep them somewhat confined in a tight fitting container.If growing indoors, plant Schefflera in a rich, loose, well-drained potting soil. When grown outdoors, a well-draining, sandy loam soil with a slightly acidic pH is ideal.Your Schefflera might need to be pruned occasionally, especially if it is not getting quite enough light. Cut off what you feel is overgrown or appearing leggy. Schefflera houseplants rebound quickly from pruning and will reward your efforts. The result will be a fuller and bushier plant. |
