Schefflera

Schefflera

Schefflera, also known as Schefflera arboricola or Umbrella Plant, is a popular and versatile indoor plant appreciated for its attractive, glossy foliage and ease of care. Native to tropical regions of the Pacific Islands and Australia, Schefflera features large, leathery, palmate leaves that radiate from a central stem, creating a lush, umbrella-like appearance. This plant typically grows to about 3 to 6 feet in height indoors, but can reach up to 10 feet or more in its natural habitat. Schefflera thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate lower light conditions. It requires regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. With its low-maintenance nature and attractive foliage, Schefflera is perfect for adding a touch of greenery and sophistication to homes and offices. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer high-quality Schefflera plants to enhance your indoor space with their elegant presence.
