Overview
Schefflera is a classic interior tree used to add height and fullness. It works especially well where you want a friendly, natural look rather than a sharp architectural silhouette.
Appearance
Tree form with multiple stems and clusters of leaflets (“umbrella” leaves). Creates a full canopy and fills space nicely.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light; avoid frequent location changes.
Water
Water when the top of soil begins to dry. Do not let the plant sit in standing water.
Care Notes
Responds well to occasional pruning to maintain shape. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
Best Uses
-
Corners and entryways
-
Softening large offices and open areas
-
Adding “tree-like” presence without a massive footprint
Pet Note
Toxic if ingested by pets.
