The Umbrella Tree, Schefflera arboricola, is native to Taiwan and parts of southern China and is known for its glossy, hand-like leaf clusters that radiate out like an umbrella. It grows as a woody shrub or small tree indoors, giving it a structured, full look that works well as a statement plant. It’s popular because it’s durable, adapts well to indoor conditions, and can be shaped over time with pruning.
Place this plant in a south or west-facing window about 3–6 feet from the glass, or an east-facing window 1–3 feet away. It handles a range of light, but stronger light keeps it fuller and more compact. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K positioned 10–12 inches above the canopy. If the plant becomes leggy or drops leaves, it needs more light. If leaves start to pale or show scorch, the light may be too intense.
Water using a chopstick or meter and let the soil dry about halfway to almost fully before watering again. This plant prefers to dry out more than staying consistently moist. Overwatering will lead to yellowing and leaf drop, while underwatering can cause leaves to droop and become crispy. It tolerates average home humidity and responds well to pruning if you want to control height or encourage bushier growth.

Rooted Plant Shop is amazing! Mel has very beautiful plants and a lot of knowledge. I love her and the shop and the plants. The plants are packed with extreme care and even seat belted in the box. Her knowledge has really saved my plants from over watering to everything lights, bugs, you ask she'll most likely know. Beautiful soul and doesn't ask for a thing. Mainly teaches, about plants! You would think she didn't sell plants cause she will never shove them do your throat. I absolutely adored her, her shop and the knowledge she shares. Please check her out!
I look forward to picking a different plant each month. Sometimes it’s hard though! I’ve been happy with the plants I have received thus far and like knowing the place I get them from cares about what they do and their plants. Highly recommend not only doing a subscription but buying from this site/shop. Incredible service, prompt answers to questions, and Mel is full of knowledge that she shares on social media.
