    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.

    Suitable Landscapes

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

    • Container planting
    • Ground cover
    • Large areas
    • Alpine gardens
    • Coastal/saltwater gardens

     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.

        Best fix for flats that I've ever used
        I have a large zero turn mower that is 10 years old and had a slow leak in the front tire. I tried fix a flat but even a full can would barely get any of the product into the tire and would end up oozing around the valve. After a long search, I found FlatOut. I was reluctant at first because it required removing the valve core, which I had never done. (I'm a 60+ year old female.) But the ratings were so high and the fact it was made with Kevlar, changed my mind. And I am so glad!! The instructions were so simple, core valve came right out (and the tool and new core valve is included), the tube that you pull from the bottle, fit snuggly on the valve stem yet was not difficult to put on. I elevated the bottle, added the amount I thought it needed, removed the tube, pushed it back in the bottle, replaced the cap, and then put the new valve stem back in. It only took a few minutes. And no mess! I had put on rubber gloves, expecting some to spill but it's a thick liquid and does not seep out anywhere it's not supposed to! I filled the tire with air and checked it each day for a week to make sure there was no leak before I used it. I then mowed some rough ground that is hilly and rocky and when I was done, the tire was perfect. I was so pleased I did the same thing to the other tire that never lost any air because I didn't want to wait for a leak. BUY THIS PRODUCT if you are tired of messing with slow leaks or flat tires! I will never use anything else. I purchased a package of core valves and taped them on the bottle so I'll have them when needed! I would give this product 10 stars if I could. It states on the bottle this product was used in the military, so it really has been tested. Thank you FlatOut for a product that actually does what it says!

        IT JUST WORKS!
        Size: 1-Pack (32 oz), Size: 1-Pack (32 oz)
        I recently found a piece of wire stuck in the side wall of my Zero Turn mower's rear tire. The tire has less than a full season of use, so I was looking for an alternative to "FIX" my sidewall puncture instead of removing it and patching or replacing. After looking up several different products, I decided to try Multi Seal. After reading the directions, I removed the valve tool that was included with the bottle. It was a little confusing, but the tool is basically a "stopper" for the clear hose that's in the bottle. Once I removed the valve from the stem, I connected the clear hose to the stem and proceeded to squeeze the product into the tire. I was surprised as to how easily it flowed into the tire. It was much easier than other tire sealants I've used. Although, its recommended to use half of the bottle in a rear tire, I used significantly more. I wanted to make sure the sealant would get to the sidewall. When I was finished adding the product, I replaced the valve in the stem and inflated the tire to the recommended pressure. It was at this time I pulled the wire from the tire. I started the mower and drove it for a few minutes. When i stopped, the product had started to escape the tire through the puncture. In fact, I had another unknown puncture that showed signs of the Multi Seal product. After a few minutes, air was still escaping from the punctures so I ended up driving the mower for about 10-15 minutes. This seemed to do the trick. Over a week later and 1.5 hours of operation later, the tire is still holding air pressure. This product is the BEST tire sealant I have ever used. I will be adding it to all my non-highway tires that I own.

        Works with effort
        Size: 1-Gallon (128 oz)
        I was skeptical about buying this. However, after installing the recommended ozs per tire, it seems to have fixed the two flats on my zero-turn lawnmower. I will continue to monitor the pressure, but it's held for four days at the time of this review. Caution. Even with a flat tire and no air, pumping the product into the tire builds backpressure, and the internal two-piece pump shaft blew apart on me; afterward, the hose connecting to the value stem blew off. In short, a lot of fluid was lost. Finally, the bottleneck of the pump collapsed when the bottle was only half empty. It's not as smooth an install as you are led to believe. It is a good concept, but the pump bottle is cheaply made and does not hold up well to deliver all the product to the tires. It fatigues after around 50 - 60 pumps, and you wind up struggling to get the job done.

        It did work
        Size: 1-Pack (32 oz)
        Sealed a small nail hole in a front tractor tire. Better than taking to shop for inside patch or making the 3x bigger for a rope patch.

        Fixed a Bead Sealing Issue
        Size: 1-Gallon (128 oz)
        For traction in snow, I recently installed new "agricultural" style lugged front tires on a Simplicity garden tractor from around 1980. The tractor looks like it's survived a war, evidently having had a hard life as a workhorse owned by a school district. The front rims are rusty, and I naively thought the beads of these thick tires would seal properly anyway. They didn't. The jug of sealant ships with a valve core removal tool. Removing and reinstalling the cores is a piece of cake if you've never done it. I pumped a generous amount of the product into each tire and then did a few fast laps in a grassy paddock. It's a Kohler 19HP twin and it's a bit of a rocket. 😎 One tire sealed, the other didn't, and there was still a faint hiss. I added more product to that side and repeated the process. It seemed to hold. The next day that side was flat again, so I added more sealant and this time it held. Based on this experience, I'd say that instead of strictly following what the instructions recommended as an amount per tire, keep adding product in increments until the tire holds air. It's good stuff and it works. Will the tire self-heal if I puncture it? I don't know yet. It saved me the headache of having to remount these small tires or install tubes.
