The Schefflera, commonly referred to as the Umbrella Plant, is a popular houseplant known for its lush, green, and glossy foliage. The plant’s leaves form in clusters, resembling the shape of an umbrella, hence its common name. Depending on the variety, Schefflera can have variegated or solid green leaves. Indoors, it typically grows between 3-6 feet tall but can reach up to 10 feet with proper care and space.
Schefflera is loved for its easy-care nature and its ability to purify the air by filtering out harmful toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene. It's a great addition to homes and offices, providing a tropical and fresh look to indoor spaces. With minimal pruning, the plant can maintain a manageable size, making it a low-maintenance choice for plant lovers.
