Description

Meet the Arboricola—bringing Mary Poppins vibes with her eye-catching and perfectly arranged umbrella leaves! She's got that classic, reliable charm that makes every room feel more put-together, like when you finally manage perfect hair on a humid day.

This Umbrella Plant is basically nature's answer to effortless chic while being surprisingly low-maintenance. Native to Taiwan and Hainan, she's mastered the art of thriving indoors while keeping her glossy green leaves looking picture-perfect.

Growing 3-8 feet tall, she's the ideal size for making a statement without taking over your living room like some overzealous houseguest. Plus, she moonlights as an air purifier—beauty and brains, people!



Care 

How do I care for an Arboricola?

Give your Arboricola bright indirect light, and water when her soil feels dry to the touch. She likes normal room temperatures and doesn't need much fussing. Just like a supermodel who eats takeout and still looks flawless.

 

Is Arboricola a good indoor plant? 

The Arboricola is fantastic indoors! She adapts like a champ to different conditions while quietly cleaning your air all day long. She's forgiving with watering schedules and doesn't throw tantrums if you forget her for a few days.


Does Arboricola like sun or shade? 

Your Arboricola prefers to be in bright indirect light, but she’ll tolerate some shade like a true professional plant. Direct sun will scorch her leaves, though—she's more "elegant brunch" than "beach volleyball," if you know what we mean.


How often should I water an Arboricola? 

Water her when the top few inches of soil feel dry, usually every week or two depending on your home's conditions. She's not dramatic about timing—just check the soil and you'll know when she's thirsty. Winter means less water, generally.


Can I put my Umbrella Plant outside in the summer? 

Your Umbrella Plant loves a summer vacation with some fresh air and natural humidity to perk her up. Just protect her from harsh afternoon sun and make sure to bring her back indoors before temperatures drop below 54°F (12°C).


Where is the best place to put an Umbrella Plant in the house? 

You can pop your Umbrella Plant near an east or north-facing window where she gets plenty of bright light without getting completely roasted alive. Make sure you avoid cold drafts and heating vents—she's not into that chaos, honestly.


Do Umbrella Plants like to be misted? 

Light misting occasionally is fine for your Umbrella Plant (like a spa day!). Heavy daily misting sessions? Tsk tsk - that's how you get fungal issues that nobody wants to deal with. A humidity tray works much better anyway.


How much light does an Arboricola need?

Your Arboricola wants about 4-5 hours of bright indirect light daily to keep her colors vibrant and her growth healthy. Less light means she'll get leggy and lose that full, lush look we all love her for in our homes.


What fertilizer is best for Arboricola?

Feed your Arboricola with balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength monthly during spring and summer, when she's actively growing. She's not a heavy eater—think light snacking rather than feast mode. Skip winter feeding entirely when she's resting.


Pet-friendly?

Your Arboricola isn't pet-safe—she contains compounds toxic to cats and dogs that can make them sick. Keep her up high where curious paws can't reach, because nobody wants an emergency vet visit over a plant nibble gone wrong.

 

Are Arboricola toxic to dogs?

Arboricola plants are toxic to dogs and can cause drooling, vomiting, and mouth irritation. Not something you want to deal with. If your pup gets a taste, call your vet immediately—it’s better to be safe than sorry.


Are Arboricola toxic to cats?

Arboricola plants are toxic to cats too, causing similar symptoms like drooling and stomach upset that can make them miserable. Keep her away from curious kitties who might think those glossy leaves look like a tasty snack worth investigating thoroughly.


Factoids

How tall do Arboricola get?

Indoor Arboricola plants typically max out around 3-8 feet tall, perfect for statement-making without any ceiling-bumping drama in your home. Outdoors in their natural habitat? They can hit 25 feet—but don't worry about that happening indoors, promise!


Is an Arboricola air-purifying?

Your Arboricola actively removes nasty stuff like benzene and formaldehyde from your air while looking gorgeous doing her job. She's basically a living air filter that never needs replacing—just occasional watering and appreciation for her hard work around the house.


Why is Arboricola called an Umbrella Plant?

Look at those leaves: 7-9 leaflets radiating from each stem like umbrella spokes in perfect formation! Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Nature designed her specifically to remind us of rainy day accessories.


Buy an Arboricola

Ready for a plant that's equal parts elegant and easygoing? This Arboricola brings serious style to your space without the high-maintenance drama. She's perfect for plant parents who want gorgeous greenery that actually fits into real life.

A strange book I don’t grok
I have started to read this book directly after I had read “The Moon is a harsh Mistress” and after the first chapter, I almost stopped reading again. The first chapter starts promisingly enough, after a Mars expedition with only four couples, finding the fitting couples that contained all the required capabilities in themselves had been difficult enough, had failed, years later, another expedition is started, and this time, the flight takes much shorter. They find a young man there and bring him back, but how they treat him here, locked and no women allowed, for the first time really showed me how old Robert Heinlein’s books really are and here, for the first time, it was an annoyance. What would happen if a woman would visit him? We find out in the second chapter, and the answer is, basically, nothing. Then, for about 10% of the book, we get Jill, working in the hospital where the Man from Mars is kept, discussing with Ben, a journalist, about the implication of the Man from Mars. Once he owns the whole Mars, once he owns a majority of Lunar Enterprises. In any case, the government under the Secretary General cannot keep him alive. Then, finally, some action occurs: Ben tries to get the Man released, but fails miserably; Jill subsequently tries to prisonbreak with the Man. They escape to Ben’s place but the henchmen are not far away. They ring at the door, there is a confrontation and... it’s over. They go to another benefactor, Jubal, who keeps Jill and the Man hidden for rest of almost half of the book. There, Jubal thinks about how to help the Man, together with getting Ben back, while he tries to learn as much as possible about the Martian and Mars. Then, the henchmen appear again, ready to arrest everybody, and after the Martian makes the policemen disappear once more, Jubal eventually manages to bluff the Secretary General into calling back the second arresting team and agreeing to meet with the Man from Mars with him, Jubal, as the official delegate for the Martian. At the meeting, Jubal does what he can to make the Man’s live safe: He gives the Secretary General the mandate the manage the money of the Martian with the payment as much money as he sees fit. Having thus secured the Martian’s safety, the Martians keeps living at Jubal’s place and learning. They visit a service of the Fosterite church, where people gamble, visit the bar and have stories with women but when the archbishop wants to have one-to-one talk with the Martian, latter recognizes former’s evilness and discorporates him. Eventually, the Man from Mars has learned all he can at Jubal’s and he and Jill set out for the world. They join a circus troupe where the Martian performs a levitating trick with Jill, only it is not a trick, he really does so. But they are unsuccessful, the marks see right through it. They leave again, but not before they have listened to a snake charmer sermon about the Fosterites and before they make her a water brother. They next move to Las Vegas where Jill works in a show and the Martian as croupier and they elucidate naughty pictures. Thereafter, they go to San Francisco, where the Martian reads all the books about the various religions without grokking anything. They then visit a zoo where the Martian breaks out laughing as he, observing monkeys, finally groks people. They founded their own church, but it’s not a religion. The Martian had hereto shown some extraordinary capabilities, such as being able to enter a trance state where he could stay under water for hours, telekinesis and the ability to discorporate things or beings at will. Had the reader so far been wondering how he could do that, if the Old Ones on Mars has changed him somehow on Mars, now it become clear that this was not the case. Everybody can do it but, in order to facilitate such deeds, which were connected to Martian creed, one had to understand the Martian concepts, which one could only by firstly learning the Martian language. The Martian church was thus foremost a Martian language school. That was however not all it was. The Martian idea was that there was no God than God in everyone of us. All other religions were considered as truths, only that they were kind of hiding that God was each of us, and thus the creed was “Thou are God.” In the Martian church, also free love was practiced. We get hence a chapter where Ben was shocked by this and fled the church most hurriedly to report to Jubal, only to join it again the next chapter. And of course, we get Fosterites who try to start a persecution against their competitors. The end then also makes sense, but I don’t understand why. It was on one hand logical but on the other hand why was it necessary? This is thus not really a work of science fiction and but rather a theological treatise. I think it could have shortened somehow, then realized, that what the original editors thought as well. It was my third book I read from Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers was a good concept which Joe Haldeman made into a good book, the Moon is a harsh Mistress was a quick read that kept me hooked, but considering, it is basically a story of the American struggle for independence, just on the Moon, and it will also be my last. There are other science fictions authors out there.

We Should All Be a Little Stranger.
I understand why this book is often cited as one of the most important sci-fi books of all time. While reading it, you might begin to question why it’s lumped into the sci-fi category because the themes are very human. It is science fiction, that cannot be argued, but it’s also a coming of age story, a religious story and at its very core, a story about love. Valentine Michael Smith was born and raised on Mars, but he is a human. He is brought back to Earth to learn what it means to be a human. This causes the reader to be forced to think outside of the box because Michael is not just coming from a different human culture, he has never learned what it means to be a human so any chapter told from his perspective is like an outsider, looking in on human culture. It’s wildly fascinating to think about ourselves in this manner. As Michael progresses in his grokking of humans, he gets out to explore the world and to challenge it. Our concepts of God/religion and sex/love are strange to him. We tend to not really think about it from an outside perspective because this is just the way life is, but being forced to think about it, makes for a very fascinating read. I’d never really considered myself to be a “prude” but there were times that this book made me feel that way. At times, the reader must take a step back and remember that Heinlein did intend for many of the themes to be viewed as satire of what is commonly accepted. There were a few negatives when reading this book, however. It was written in the sixties, which was a very different time from today in terms of the way women are spoken to/about and how they are treated. Heinlein wasn’t too bad in this regard, but there were a few sentences that made me stop for a second. Heinlein also has some of his characters go on these long drawn-out speech tangents that go on for pages and pages. I felt it was a little unnecessary to go on for that long, especially considered the length of the uncut version. It took me a little while to get through this book and normally I’m a pretty quick reader. Negatives aside, I do feel like this book is important. The story itself is not challenging, but as I stated before, it challenges the reader to think about humans from an outside perspective and that is fascinating. He really doesn’t seem to rely too much on Sci-fi elements, preferring to focus on the human elements of the story (love, religion etc.). If you’re looking for something long and fulfilling, this may just be the sci-fi book for you!

Wicked Satire, yet Strangely Familiar
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Heinlein's satire is wicked and well-placed, reminiscent of Voltaire and Swift. IF you love British comedy, you'll love this book. Both come from the same sarcastic taproot. I'm still debating whether or not the main charter is Smith or Jubal. Maybe it is us, since we need to recognize that we are Juba, and must nurture, and eventually become like Smith. Smith's reflective, contemplative message, reminds of Thomas A Kempis ( ), James Allen ( ), Lao Tzu ( ). Smith's message is nothing new: as C. S. Lewis pointed out, "Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that... The real job of every moral teacher is to keep on bringing us back, time after time, to the old simple principles which we are all so anxious not to see." . In fact, Smith's slogan "Thou art God" is merely run-of-the-mill Christianity: * "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." * "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." * "Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." * "Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." * "God became man so that man might be god." * "It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you may talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and corruption such as you now meet if at all only in a nightmare. . . . There are no ordinary people. You have never met a mere mortal, Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations, these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or ever lasting splendours." . Heinlein seems to have stolen a page from Søren Kierkegaard, who tried to re-Christianize Christianity ( , 458). To paraphrase John, "Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning." As I read this book, Smith struck me as oddly familiar. His first name, Michael, refers to the Archangel, the captain of the Lord's army. The second name, Valentine, is the patron saint of all shades of love, phileo, agape, eros, and romance. The last name, Smith, makes him Everyman. But I wonder if there is something more. What happens to Smith is common to all founders of religions--Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed, and so forth. There is evolution, turns and twists of fate, and eventual triumph. However, there is a deeper nuance. Society begins with vulgarized Christianity, then there was the Fosterite Revolution, and another apostasy and commercialization of religion as a Megachurch. And lastly comes along Smith, with his Martian philosophy. This bears a strong parallel to the life of Joseph Smith . In fact, both have a similar martyrdom: "Thou art God" versus "O Lord My God." The satire can get tedious at time, but I think this flaw is excusable. As I read, I kept thinking that this book could loose about 1/3rd of the text. But on the other hand, the artistry and beauty of the wicked satire forces me to say, "Leave it alone." Note: This book is the Q document for so much other fiction. I see shades of "Dune" here and there. Smith the new prophet is akin to Ender, the Speaker for the Dead. And if you have seen Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Charlie X," some of the elements will seem a bit too familiar. Keep in mind that this book came first, and that it does a much better job of mixing wit and wisdom than Kirk and Spock. There is no comparison--after reading this book, "Charlie X" rolls like a flat tire.
