The Schefflera or umbrella tree is a small shrub that can reach up to 3m in height when grown indoors. The 'Trinette' variety has slower growth and a smaller habit compared to the majority of scheffleras. Its leaves are variegated with different shades of green. Spread out at the end of its long stems, its 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.
