The Umbrella Plant (Schefflera arboricola)

A Lush, Fast-Growing Classic for Sparks Homes

The Schefflera arboricola (commonly called the Dwarf Umbrella Tree) is a vibrant staple for any indoor jungle. Loved for its glossy, hand-shaped leaves that droop like tiny umbrellas, this plant adds immediate volume and tropical energy to any room. It is a faster grower than many houseplants, making it rewarding for new plant parents.

Quick Facts & Care

• Best Feature: Fast growth rate and bushy, air-purifying foliage.


• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but grows slower and leggier in shade. Rotate the pot frequently for even growth.


• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. It dislikes "wet feet" (soggy roots) and will drop leaves if overwatered.


• Toxicity: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested (mild to moderate).


• Maintenance: Easy to prune and shape. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and pests.

Sizing & Specifications

• Medium: Planted in a 6-8" ceramic pot and is ~24" tall.


• Large: Planted in a 8-10" ceramic pot and is ~36" tall.
