Umbrella Plant
Umbrella Plant, also known as Schefflera arboricola, is a popular indoor plant known for its lush, glossy foliage that forms a distinctive umbrella-like canopy. The plant features oval, glossy leaves arranged in clusters on long petioles, creating a vibrant and dense appearance. Its adaptable nature and striking foliage make it an attractive addition to any bioactive vivarium or indoor space.
Care
Lighting Requirement: Umbrella Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light conditions but may experience slower growth and reduced foliage density. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering & Humidity: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Umbrella Plant adapts well to average indoor humidity levels, but it can benefit from occasional misting or the use of a humidity tray in drier environments.
Temperature Requirement: The ideal temperature range for Umbrella Plant is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to ensure it remains healthy and vibrant.
