Schefflera

Also known as the Umbrella Plant, Schefflera are popular for being giant, long-lasting houseplants tolerant of moderate lighting and minimal watering. Native to most parts of Southern Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Like most plants, they prefer good lighting in between bright and low and will sprout new growth with more light. They love humid environments such as a kitchen or bathroom. Best kept away from pets, they want to dry out in between waterings but don’t want to go too dry for too long. A good soaking will make any Schefflera happy!

Light:

Bright indirect light to moderate light. Great office-lighting plant.

Water:

Let the top couple inches of the soil dry between watering.

Varieties:

Actinophylla and Arbicola.
