About Schefflera actinophylla (Umbrella Plant)

The Schefflera actinophylla, commonly called the umbrella plant or octopus tree, creates a lush, tropical look wherever it grows. Its broad leaves and upright growth habit make it perfect as a statement plant in living rooms, entryways, and bright offices. The umbrella plant is tolerant of a range of indoor conditions and forgiving to beginners. It enjoys bright, indirect light but will also adapt to slightly lower light situations, making it one of the most versatile houseplant choices.

• Impressive Height and Structure: Schefflera actinophylla can grow tall and lush, reaching impressive heights indoors, making it an excellent choice if you're looking for a plant with real presence.

Planting and Care Tips

To give your umbrella plant the best start: - Place in a spot with bright, filtered light away from direct sun. - Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out before watering. - Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser in spring and summer. - Trim back occasionally to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape.

Maintain moderate humidity by misting, especially during dry New Zealand winters.
