The Schefflera, or umbrella tree, is a small shrub that can reach up to 3 meters in height when grown indoors. Spread at the end of its long stems, its glossy green leaves are divided into 5 to 14 leaflets. It tolerates dimmer rooms. However, to ensure its growth, it is recommended to provide it with bright light in a warm and humid environment. Thermal shock and stagnant water can be fatal.
