Schefflera arboricola, commonly called umbrella plant or dwarf
schefflera, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that grows in tropical climates
to 10-25′ tall. It is native to Taiwan. In the wild, it sometimes grows on
other trees as an epiphyte. It is widely grown in temperate climates as a much
smaller ornamental foliage houseplant rising to 3-6′ tall on upright stems clad
with glossy, slender-stalked, compound, palmate, evergreen leaves. Each leaf
has 7-9 obovate-oblong to elliptic leaflets (to 4-6″ long) arranged in a
circle on leafstalks to 6″ long. Tiny red flowers in compound panicles
bloom in summer. Flowers are followed by round orange drupes (to 1/4″)
which mature to black. Low-maintenance indoor potted plant. Where winter hardy,
it is commonly used as a specimen/accent, hedge or container plant. The seeds
are from variegated plants so they should produce seedlings that have
variegated leaves and seedlings that have green leaves.
Growing Instructions
1. Soak the seeds in water for 12 hours.
2. They can be grown in pots or in seedling trays. Fill the pots or
trays with a commercial potting soil mix or with peat- lite mix. Sow the seeds
on the soil and then cover them with a light layer of soil that is twice the
depth of the size of the seeds.
3. Water the soil and keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. When the
seedlings are large enough, they can be transplanted into larger pots.
