Umbrella Plant (Schefflera Arboricola)

A graceful tropical houseplant with glossy, umbrella-shaped foliage that adds vibrant structure and timeless elegance to any space.

The Umbrella Plant (Schefflera Arboricola) is an elegant, easy-to-grow tropical native to Taiwan and Hainan. Recognized for its signature radiating leaflets, which fan out from a single stem like the ribs of an umbrella, this plant is a symbol of harmony and balance in interior design. Its lush, green foliage and naturally upright form bring a refreshing, structured aesthetic to modern homes and offices alike.

With its adaptable and forgiving nature, the Umbrella Plant thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can also tolerate moderate light conditions. Its resilience makes it perfect for beginners and busy plant enthusiasts who want a touch of tropical sophistication without demanding maintenance. Compact yet lush, it fits seamlessly on desks, tabletops, or as a statement accent in larger planters.

Beyond its visual appeal, the Schefflera Arboricola is also a natural air purifier, filtering toxins and improving overall indoor air quality. Whether placed in a living area, workspace, or entryway, it brings both aesthetic charm and environmental benefits to any interior.

Each Umbrella Plant from Acacia is carefully cultivated to ensure balanced growth, glossy foliage, and lasting vitality — a beautiful union of form, function, and freshness.
