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