The Schefflera or umbrella tree is a small shrub that can reach up to 3m in height when grown indoors. A plant much appreciated for its shrubby habit and its coloring. Its lime green leaves are shiny and its stem is slightly tinged with red. Deployed at the end of its long stems, its leaves are divided into 5 to 14 leaflets. It tolerates less bright rooms.
