Umbrella Plant - Mini

Scientific Name: Schefflera 'Arboricola'
Common Name: Umbrella Plant

• Gorgeous Fanning Foliage
• Can grow into a lovely big tree given the space
• Medium - Bright indirect light
• Plant level: Very Easy

Beautiful palmate foliage that opens out in the shape of an umbrella, this mini plant is a lovely little indoor companion. Easy to care for and forgiving of a little underwatering and lower light conditions, it is a great place to start if you're growing your indoor jungle from scratch.

The perfect plant for adding a pop of natural colour to a shelf, desk, bedside table or small corner at home or in the office, without needing much fuss to keep it happy.

And here's the fun part: this little Umbrella Plant won't stay little forever. Given the right care, it will gradually grow into a larger, leafy statement plant. If you'd prefer to keep it compact and bushy as it grows, simply pinch off new growth at the top to encourage it to fill out lower down.

Please note: Umbrella plants are known to be toxic.
Restriction: Please Note, we are not permitted to ship Scheffleras to Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.
