Schefflera arboricola ‘Compacta’
Schefflera arboricola, also known as the dwarf umbrella tree, is a broad-leaved evergreen shrub that is native to Taiwan and Hainan Province, China. The plant’s genus name honors Polish 19th-century botanist Jacob Christoph Scheffler. Schefflera arboricola is a fast-growing and easy-to-care-for plant that can tolerate various indoor conditions, can tolerate lower light, and is somewhat forgiving if you occasionally forget to water it. Additionally, it is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to improve indoor air quality by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen.
- Light: Schefflera arboricola prefers bright, indirect light. It can also tolerate low light conditions but will grow more slowly.
- Water: Water your Schefflera arboricola when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Do not overwater as this can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Schefflera arboricola prefers high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant or by using a humidifier.
- Temperature: Schefflera arboricola prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C).
- Fertilizer: Feed your Schefflera arboricola once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Pruning: Prune your Schefflera arboricola in the spring to control its size and shape. You can also remove any yellow or brown leaves.
