The Schefflera Plant, known as the umbrella plant or Arbicola, is an indoor plant known for its beautiful veined leaves. Because of its tolerance and beauty, the plant is wonderful for the beginning plant parent. Plant lovers are also fond of it because of its air purifying capabilities! The plant is native to Taiwan and Hainan, where they grow in their natural habitats. Though information about its lifespan is scanty, various sources insinuate the plant can live for more than twenty years.

Schefflera are medium light plants, so like most plants they grow best in bright, indirect light. Growing the plant in dark rooms can make them leggy and floppy, an indication of light deficiency – however, direct light can burn its leaves. The plant thrives in high humidity conditions. Experts suggest the humidity levels should be at least 60 percent. The average household temperatures in the range of 60°F-75°F are perfect for the plant. It is noble to ensure the warmth level does not fall below 55°F.
