Schefflera Arboricola Plants for Sale Online

Schefflera Arboricola, or Umbrella Tree Plants, brighten whatever space it's planted in. These houseplants plants will do well inside with bright indirect light from a windowsill or in very low, fluorescent light.

Schefflera Arboricola hails from Taiwan, where the trees grow upwards of 20 feet tall. Indoors, with limited root systems, the plants typically grow to about 10 to 15 feet tall, and about 3 to 4 feet wide. The brightly colored green and yellow foliage lighten and brighten any room or corner indoors or even any dark, shady spot outdoors.

Outdoors, the Schefflera Arboricola will not tolerate full sun during the hottest part of the day; part to full shade is preferred. As they take well to pruning, Schefflera can also be trained to grow together densely as a hedge.
