🌿 Schefflera actinophylla ‘Amate’ — Umbrella Tree ‘Amate’

Schefflera actinophylla ‘Amate’, commonly known as the Umbrella Tree ‘Amate’, is a bold and glossy indoor tree prized for its tropical aesthetic, fast growth, and ease of care. Native to the rainforests of Australia and New Guinea, this variety of Schefflera actinophylla has been specially selected for its larger, broader leaves and vigorous, upright habit. The plant’s name comes from its distinctive umbrella-like leaf arrangement — each long stem holds a cluster of broad, shiny green leaflets that radiate outward like spokes. The 'Amate' cultivar boasts deeper green, more lustrous foliage than the standard species, with a naturally tidy and symmetrical growth habit. It makes an excellent choice for bright interiors, atriums, and conservatories, where it quickly becomes a lush, tree-like feature plant. While relatively low-maintenance, it thrives best with consistent conditions and is well-suited to homes and offices alike.


☀️ Light Requirements

  • Indoors: Prefers bright, indirect light for best growth. Can tolerate some gentle morning sun.

  • Too much sun: Strong, direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.

  • Too little light: Leads to leggy growth, leaf drop, and reduced vibrancy.


🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal temperature: 18–27°C (65–80°F)

  • Minimum temperature: Keep above 12°C (54°F); protect from cold draughts.

  • Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity but prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally in dry environments.


💧 Watering Needs

  • Watering frequency: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.

  • Tip: Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain away. Do not let the plant sit in water.

  • Winter: Reduce watering frequency slightly when growth slows.


🪴 Soil & Repotting

  • Soil type: Well-draining potting compost, such as a general-purpose mix with added perlite or bark.

  • pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0)

  • Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when rootbound. Use a sturdy pot to support its upright growth.


🌱 Feeding

  • Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.

  • Autumn–winter: Feeding can be reduced or paused depending on growth.


✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Pruning: Trim to maintain shape and encourage branching. Pinch out tips if a bushier form is desired.

  • Leaf care: Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.

  • Height control: Regular pruning helps prevent the plant from becoming too tall or top-heavy indoors.


🌾 Propagation

  • Stem cuttings: Can be propagated from healthy stem cuttings placed in water or moist compost.

  • Air layering: An effective option for larger, mature plants.


🐛 Pests & Problems

  • Common pests: Spider mites, aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects.

  • Symptoms: Sticky residue, curled leaves, or discolouration may indicate infestation.

  • Treatment: Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Increase humidity and airflow to discourage pests.

  • Common issues:

    • Leaf drop: Often caused by changes in light, draughts, or overwatering.

    • Brown tips: Usually due to low humidity or inconsistent watering.


🧤 Toxicity & Safety

  • Toxicity: Mildly toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Can cause mouth irritation and digestive upset.

  • Precaution: Keep out of reach of pets and children.


🏡 Indoor Care Highlights

  • A fast-growing statement plant perfect for bright living rooms, offices, and conservatories.

  • Adds height and volume to plant displays — ideal for corners or as a backdrop.

  • Combines beautifully with other tropical foliage like Monstera, Philodendron, and Ficus species.

  • Adaptable and resilient — perfect for plant lovers seeking low-fuss greenery with big impact.

A Simple, Effective, and Inexpensive Device
Color: Silver, Style: 1-Pack
I have tried many variations of the standard computer mouse over the years. You probably have too. From weird angles, extra buttons in the scroll, funny side buttons that only make you go backwards on your web browser...Sometimes, you just want a point, click, scroll...and that's it. Pros: - This mouse delivers on simplicity. It doesn't have fancy advanced features. This basically functions as a point and click. It has a left and right hand button to do those old fashioned right and left button tasks. It has a basic scroll button. It's low tech features, but quality built for those features that it has. - It seems to work on most surfaces without a mouse pad. - Cost is ridiculously low. It's almost so low that you question its quality. In this case - it's Amazon. Amazon has really delivered on their Amazon Basics division. This falls neatly into that category of awesome but inexpensive Amazon Basics stuff. - Connected within a second to my computer (Mac). I don't see any connectivity issues. I didn't have to download drivers at all. Cons - I haven't used it long term yet so if there is a break down, or the battery life turns out to be poor, I will update. For now, it's behaving beautifully. Overall, if you miss a nice, simple, uncomplicated mouse - start here. Worst case scenario, you can return it. After all, Amazon has been standing behind their stuff for a while now so I'm not afraid to start with theirs and see how well they did. This is another one that didn't disappoint and it cost 50% less than its nearest competitor (at the time I bought it at least).

Mostly a Really Good Mouse
Color: Silver, Style: 1-Pack
This mouse connected perfectly, feels good, and even works seamlessly with my cordless keyboard, which of course uses a different dongle. I have only one small issue, but it's one I thought worth mentioning. While the buttons work normally when moving the cursor around the screen, when it comes to actually making a selection with the primary button (right- or left-handed, doesn't matter), one must press the button VERY deliberately and somewhat slower for the "click" to be recognized. A typical "quick click" at the speed one would normally use, say, when typing or normal "mousing" often will not register with the computer. The result is that I have to slow down and click again. In several decades of using a computer mouse I've never experienced this phenomenon. I've grown used to it, however, and adjusted to the necessity to give the selection button a slower and harder "press" when making selections, and that's all it takes. And oddly, it only requires this extra deliberate action when pressing a selection button. Not the biggest issue one could have, but I thought it worth mentioning. Other than that, no problems, and really, the price is very good, so as they say, you pays your money and you makes your choice. ;-)
