Umbrella Plant (Schefflera Arboricola)
Lush, graceful, and delightfully tropical — the Umbrella Plant, also known as Schefflera Arboricola, is an elegant evergreen that brings balance, vibrance, and structure to any space. Native to the warm forests of Taiwan, this beloved indoor plant is instantly recognizable by its glossy, green, fan-shaped leaves that radiate outward in a perfect umbrella-like canopy. Its dense, bushy growth and polished appearance make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts and interior designers alike.
The Schefflera Arboricola can grow up to 40 cm in height indoors, forming a compact yet striking presence ideal for tabletops, entryways, or living rooms. Its multiple stems create a lush, layered silhouette that exudes natural charm. Beyond its beauty, the Umbrella Plant is known for its impressive air-purifying qualities — effectively removing toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene to help maintain a cleaner and healthier indoor atmosphere.
Adaptable and easy to care for, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light levels as well. It enjoys well-draining soil and consistent moisture without overwatering, ensuring strong growth and glossy leaves year-round.
