Description
Schefflera, or the Umbrella Plant, has glossy green leaflets that fan out like the spokes of an umbrella. It grows into a dense, lush bush and can be pruned into shape, or even trained as a bonsai.
It's hardy and adaptable. It grows well in bright, indirect light, tolerates some morning sun and only needs water when the top soil dries out. It's a good pick for offices, living rooms and balconies.

Care guide

- Humidity: Normal indoor humidity is fine; an occasional misting keeps leaves dust-free.
