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!

- Large plants benefit from brighter light to help retain their mature foliage
