Schefflera actinophylla


Schefflera actinophylla
Schefflera actinophylla, also known as the Umbrella Tree, is a bold and fast-growing indoor plant known for its striking, glossy green leaves that fan out like the ribs of an umbrella. Native to tropical regions of Australia and New Guinea, this species can grow quite tall in the right conditions, making it a great choice for adding vertical interest and a lush, tropical feel to your space. Its dramatic foliage and upright growth habit give it a strong presence, while its relatively low-maintenance nature makes it popular for both homes and offices.
To keep Schefflera actinophylla healthy and thriving, place it in bright, indirect light—though it can tolerate some direct morning sun. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the soil is dry, avoiding overwatering. This plant enjoys warm, consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, though it generally adapts well to typical indoor conditions. May be pruned occasionally to help manage its size and encourage fuller growth.
Comes in a 25cm nursery pot.
