Schefflera arboricola, commonly known as the dwarf umbrella tree, is a popular evergreen shrub native to Taiwan. It's cherished for its attractive, glossy, palmate leaves and adaptability as a houseplant.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: Features compound leaves with 7-9 obovate-oblong to elliptic leaflets, each measuring 4-6 inches long, arranged in a circular pattern resembling an umbrella.

  • Growth Habit: In its natural habitat, it can reach heights of 10-25 feet. When cultivated indoors, it typically grows to 3-6 feet tall, making it suitable for various indoor spaces.

Care Requirements:

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Insufficient light may cause leggy growth.

  • Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has adequate drainage.

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity levels but is adaptable to average household humidity. Regular misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help maintain optimal moisture.

  • Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

  • Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A mix designed for houseplants or a combination of potting soil with perlite or sand works well.
