About This Product

Schefflera arboricola - Dwarf Umbrella Tree is a very popular and common houseplant. It earned this name from looking a lot like its much bigger relative, Schefflera actinophylla, the Umbrella Tree. This tropical Taiwan native is actually an evergreen shrub featuring glossy, dark green foliage with 7-9 leaflets upon each stem that are held upwards and out in a symmetrical circle like an outstretched umbrella. Its appealing leaf design and tolerance to neglect are the main qualities that have led to its popularity. Low to high lighting is generally well tolerated by this plant, and it is just as forgiving on the watering spectrum, although it would prefer to be kept generally moist and slightly drying out between waterings. It cannot tolerate standing water, and will do better in brighter lighting, however.

USDA Hardiness Zone 10-12

Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant:

Schefflera arboricola probably isn’t suitable for most container gardens only due to its size. As previously mentioned, it is a very popular houseplant that is easy to care for. Simply provide it an appropriate sized pot, upgrading the size as needed, and use a good quality potting soil. It is noted for its ability to help remove toxins and clean the air.

Josh's Frogs offers a wide variety of glass terrariums, container garden soils, drainage layers and other supplies for all of your indoor gardening needs.

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

This plant will do well in the tropical, humid environment of a large vivarium, but such prime conditions may allow the plant to quickly outgrow most sizes. However, this plant can be easily trimmed and pruned back without adverse effects if done correctly. It’s an excellent candidate for most other animal terrariums, with plenty of durable foliage to allow for climbing and privacy.

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Plants from Josh’s Frogs are specifically grown to be safe for use with animals. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
