Grows Well With

The braided Schefflera arboricola, also known as the dwarf umbrella tree, features a fun twisted trunk with lush, glossy green foliage that can reach up to 3-6' indoors. Easy to care for, it thrives in bright, indirect light and only needs the occasional soaking. Its compact size and sculptural shape make it a perfect focal point plant for homes, offices, or even patios!

NOTE: As your Schefflera grows, we recommend giving it an occasional trim to help maintain the desired shape and fullness you desire. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents it from becoming too leggy or uneven. A quick snip here and there keeps it looking its best!

    • Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
    • Large plant measures between 30"-40" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
    • Arrives in 10" diameter grow pot
    • Large plants benefit from brighter light to help retain their mature foliage
    • Large plants require less frequent waterings due to their higher volume of soil
    • If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately
