Schefflera Variegated also called the umbrella plant, the schefflera is a popular houseplant because of the beauty of its dark green plus golden leaves, which form "fingers" in a circle. Schefflera species are wonderfully tropical plants. The larger schefflera features long, shiny, oval green leaves that droop gracefully from a central stalk. A mature schefflera might have 12 or 16 leaflets from a single stalk, while an immature schefflera is more likely to have 4 or 6.

Care:

Schefflera plants are medium light plants, which means that they need bright but indirect light. When growing schefflera, be aware that watering correctly will help to keep your schefflera houseplant healthy. To water correctly, wait until the soil in the pot dries out and then thoroughly soak the soil when you water. You do not need to fertilize your schefflera, but if you would like to, you can give it a half solution water soluble fertilizer once a year.
