    Schefflera Arboricola

    The Schefflera Arboricola, also known as the Umbrella Tree or Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a popular plant known for its attractive, glossy foliage and easy care requirements. Native to Taiwan and South China, this plant is characterized by its bushy growth and umbrella-like leaf arrangement, which gives it its common name.

    The leaves of the Schefflera Arboricola are typically dark green, although variegated varieties with gold, yellow, or cream-colored patterns are also available. These leaves are palmately compound, meaning they radiate from a central point, creating a beautiful, umbrella-like canopy.

    The Schefflera Arboricola can grow up to 4-6 feet, but its size can be easily controlled with regular pruning. It's a versatile plant that can be grown as a bushy shrub, a single-stemmed tree, or even a bonsai.

    Caring for a Schefflera Arboricola involves providing it with bright, indirect light, regular watering, and well-draining soil. It's a relatively hardy plant that can tolerate a range of indoor conditions, although it prefers a warm, humid environment.

    With its lush, tropical appearance and low-maintenance care, the Schefflera Arboricola is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of greenery to homes, offices, and other indoor or outdoor spaces. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or a beginner, this plant is sure to bring a sense of nature and tranquility to your space.

    This plant has many different planting or landscaping options, including:

    • Container planting
    • Ground cover
    • Large areas

     Caring For

    Ideal position Water Temperatures Food

     Caring for a Schefflera Arboricola, or Umbrella Tree, involves the following steps:

    1. Light: Schefflera Arboricola prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause leggy growth and loss of variegation in variegated varieties.

    2. Watering: Water your Schefflera Arboricola when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering. Ensure the plant has good drainage.

    3. Humidity and Temperature: Schefflera Arboricola prefers a humid environment and temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). You can increase humidity by misting the plant, placing it on a pebble tray with water, or using a humidifier.

    4. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix for your Schefflera Arboricola. A mix of peat moss and perlite or a general-purpose plant potting mix should work well.

    5. Fertilizing: Feed your Schefflera Arboricola with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding to once a month during fall and winter.

    6. Pruning: Prune your Schefflera Arboricola to control its size and shape. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth. Always use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid disease transmission.

    7. Pests and Diseases: Schefflera Arboricola can be susceptible to pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Check the plant regularly for signs of pests and treat as necessary.

    8. Repotting: Repot your Schefflera Arboricola every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Always use a pot with drainage holes and fresh, well-draining potting mix.

    By following these care guidelines, your Schefflera Arboricola should thrive and continue to add a touch of tropical beauty.

        This is the one to buy if you wish to get the most out of your arm and give the most to your dog
        Size: 25in
        The pro series must be made of a higher quality plastic than the original version, as the stiffness of the Pro series chucker allows for way more distance with less effort and greater control (for line drives, high arching throws, and bouncing grounders). Your dog will thank you endlessly for choosing the Pro over the regular (original) models. I have an old legacy original model that I keep in my truck for road trips that works reasonably well, though not as well as the Pro version. Here’s the thing: Before purchasing the Pro model, I ordered another original version (same length, 25”) and was instantly disappointed in how soft and leverageless was the chucker. Either my (original) original one (a Goodwill find) stiffened over the course of years, or the newly made “original” versions are now made with a softer kind of plastic. This soft chucker led to a disastrous throwing experience for my dog. Instead of thrilling at each throw and the lightning fast response of my dog, I hated every throw. I returned the “original” model and ordered the only 25Pro model I could find at 25” on Amazon… a glow in the dark version. There may be a benefit to the glow in the dark feature, but I don’t really care about that. It’s the leverage that I wanted and that’s what I got with the Pro version 25”.

        Great design
        Size: 25in
        Ball is very durable yet soft. Whistles when you throw it and goes very far. Handle is ergonomic with a nice rubber grip. Both the launcher and ball glow green in the dark. My GSD loves it. She’s 75 lbs and the medium ball is fine.

        Husband and dogs highly approve.
        Size: 25in
        My husband wanted us to replace one from a different company that broke. It had to have a glow in the dark ball, since he sometimes plays fetch with the dogs at night. He couldn’t love this more. Says it’s so much better than the other one, the whole thing glows in the dark and it throws farther. According to him, it’s the best ever.

        Glow In The Dark Ball
        Size: 18in
        I gave this 4/5 stars because the ball is a little small for my dog size so I was hoping the sizing was easier to read. It could have been an error on my end. The ball is great though! It lights up nicely when it is out in the sunlight or under a light for a long periods of time, it lights up at night so you can play with your dog at night when it is cooler!
