    Schefflera Arboricola

    The Schefflera Arboricola, also known as the Umbrella Tree or Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a popular plant known for its attractive, glossy foliage and easy care requirements. Native to Taiwan and South China, this plant is characterized by its bushy growth and umbrella-like leaf arrangement, which gives it its common name.

    The leaves of the Schefflera Arboricola are typically dark green, although variegated varieties with gold, yellow, or cream-colored patterns are also available. These leaves are palmately compound, meaning they radiate from a central point, creating a beautiful, umbrella-like canopy.

    The Schefflera Arboricola can grow up to 4-6 feet, but its size can be easily controlled with regular pruning. It's a versatile plant that can be grown as a bushy shrub, a single-stemmed tree, or even a bonsai.

    Caring for a Schefflera Arboricola involves providing it with bright, indirect light, regular watering, and well-draining soil. It's a relatively hardy plant that can tolerate a range of indoor conditions, although it prefers a warm, humid environment.

    With its lush, tropical appearance and low-maintenance care, the Schefflera Arboricola is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of greenery to homes, offices, and other indoor or outdoor spaces. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or a beginner, this plant is sure to bring a sense of nature and tranquility to your space.

    This plant has many different planting or landscaping options, including:

    • Container planting
    • Ground cover
    • Large areas
    • Alpine gardens

     Caring For

    Ideal position Water Temperatures Food

     Caring for a Schefflera Arboricola, or Umbrella Tree, involves the following steps:

    1. Light: Schefflera Arboricola prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause leggy growth and loss of variegation in variegated varieties.

    2. Watering: Water your Schefflera Arboricola when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering. Ensure the plant has good drainage.

    3. Humidity and Temperature: Schefflera Arboricola prefers a humid environment and temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). You can increase humidity by misting the plant, placing it on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier.

    4. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix for your Schefflera Arboricola. A mix of peat moss and perlite or a general-purpose plant potting mix should work well.

    5. Fertilizing: Feed your Schefflera Arboricola with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding to once a month during fall and winter.

    6. Pruning: Prune your Schefflera Arboricola to control its size and shape. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth. Always use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid disease transmission.

    7. Pests and Diseases: Schefflera Arboricola can be susceptible to pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Check the plant regularly for signs of pests and treat as necessary.

    8. Repotting: Repot your Schefflera Arboricola every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Always use a pot with drainage holes and fresh, well-draining potting mix.

    By following these care guidelines, your Schefflera Arboricola should thrive and continue to add a touch of tropical beauty.

        Pretty hard to clean
        Color: Cinamutt Roll - Large, Size: Large
        We've had this for about a week now. I have 2 dogs, one small one about 55lb. I bought this for my big girl, but lil man is determined to get the best of this toy. Usually they don't both go after the same toys, so this is interesting. The trouble is, neither one of them can get all the treats out if something makes it all the way down into the crevice. It's surprisingly deep. The up side is that they'll try for quite a while before giving up. The down side is even if you put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, something stuck deep in there isn't going anywhere until you dig it out yourself. I tried a plastic knife but it broke the second time I used it in there. I wound up using the metal handle of a reusable straw cleaner. Which then I had to wash that, too. Then it needs to dry overnight before it can be used again. All in all, the dogs like it fine, it's gross to scrape out and wash, takes longer than most toys to dry, and I have the feeling that will eventually cause me to pass it to someone else's dog long before my two have gotten tired of it. At this point I'm pulling out of the toy rotation for a week or two because I'm not ready to clean it a third time.

        Hyena Proof
        Color: Acorn - Large, Size: Large
        I have an American Bulldog that would chew a brick if he didn’t have an alternative lying around. They won’t last forever (nothing does) but we’ve had two of these over the course of a year and for him that is nothing short of a miracle. And that is daily chewing like it’s his job. I highly recommend the Acornucopia for aggressive chewers with jaws like hyenas…so it’s probably great for your dog too.
