Schefflera Arboricola

Schefflera Arboricola, also known as dwarf schefflera or dwarf umbrella tree, is a popular houseplant for its elegant and compact foliage. Its small, glossy leaves, clustered in rays around the stem, give it a dense and attractive appearance.

Caring for Schefflera Arboricola prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making it ideal for lightly shaded areas. It thrives in well-drained, light soil. Moderate watering is recommended, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering, which could cause root rot. In summer, weekly watering is generally sufficient, while in winter, watering frequency can be reduced to once every two weeks. This plant thrives in moderate humidity, and misting its leaves may be helpful in very dry environments.

With its compact appearance and easy maintenance, the Schefflera Arboricola is ideal for adding a tropical and elegant touch to any indoor space. Its ability to adapt to varied conditions makes it a perfect choice for plant lovers of all skill levels.
