We adore the twisted, knotted trunk of this Twisted Schefflera Tree. The Schefflera Tree is a wonderfully simple-to-manage pot of style that adds a touch of elegance to any room in your home.  Otherwise known as the Umbrella tree plant, the variety we offer has an interestingly gnarled and braided trunk.

Green leaves dotted with gold pattern form clusters almost like umbrellas - hence the name!  We love the braided trunk - imagine it in its natural rainforest surroundings in tropical Taiwan, it has real personality and will add interest to any sitting room or really anywhere you choose to put it.

Umbrella plant care is really easy which is why it makes a great plant if you’re not used to houseplants.  The main things are to make sure you don’t overwater and to put it in indirect light so that the leaves don’t shrivel and burn.  It will also tolerate low light - in fact, we find that they grow more slowly and become leggy in low light, which is actually a great look! 

The Umbrella Plant or Schefflera plant makes a wonderful indoor plant gift.  We’ll even deliver it along with a free handwritten card - just include your gift message at the basket stage of the checkout and we’ll do the rest. We won’t include any telltale paperwork either!

How to Grow and Care For Schefflera or Umbrella Plant

This plant is easy to care for. Follow our simple instructions below and you will have years of growth.

Where should I put this plant?

Umbrella plants can tolerate bright but indirect light, not full sun. They will also thrive in low light.  Schefflera is easy: cold or warm rooms, plenty or little light, anything goes really. 

How much should I water it?

Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch.  Soak through and leave to drain, then allow to dry out before watering again.

This plant loves being dusted, the simplest and easiest way is to give it a shower once a month and it will thrive!

Should I feed it?

You can feed once a month during spring and summer with liquid plant food. Try our vegan, organic plant food.
