Care 

How do I care for an Arboricola?

You'll love how easy Arboricola care is! Give your plant bright indirect light and water when the soil feels dry. It handles normal room temperatures like a champ and forgives you completely if you're still learning plant care routines.


Is Arboricola a good indoor plant? 

Your Arboricola is absolutely wonderful indoors, adapting easily to different home conditions while quietly cleaning your air all day. It’s forgiving with watering schedules and doesn't stress when life gets busy, giving you one less thing to worry about.


Does Arboricola like sun or shade? 

The Arboricola loves bright indirect light best, though it'll handle some shade without any complaints whatsoever. Direct harsh sunlight can scorch those umbrella leaves, so we always recommend that perfect filtered light for its happiest growth and health.


How often should I water an Arboricola? 

Water your Arboricola when the top few inches of soil feel dry, usually every week or two depending on your home's conditions. It's not fussy about exact timing - just check the soil and you'll know when it's ready!


Can I put my Umbrella Plant outside in the summer? 

Your Umbrella Plant loves summer outdoor time with fresh air and natural humidity to perk it right up. Just protect it from harsh afternoon sun and bring it inside before temperatures drop below 54°F (12°C) in the fall.


Where is the best place to put an Umbrella Plant in the house? 

We always tell our customers to place Umbrella Plants near east or north-facing windows for that perfect bright, indirect light. Keep it away from cold drafts and heating vents where temperature swings might stress it out unnecessarily.


Do Umbrella Plants like to be misted? 

Light misting is lovely for your Umbrella Plant - like giving it a gentle spa day that brightens its week! Heavy daily misting isn't necessary, though. Instead, think about using a humidity tray to create the best conditions.


How much light does an Arboricola need?

Your Arboricola needs about 4-5 hours of bright indirect light daily to maintain those lovely colors and healthy growth patterns. Less light means it might get a bit leggy and lose that full, lush look we all love so much.


What fertilizer is best for Arboricola?

Feed your Arboricola with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength monthly during spring and summer growing seasons when it's actively growing. Think gentle nourishment rather than big meals, and skip winter feeding when it's naturally resting.


Pet-friendly?

Caution - your Arboricola isn't safe for curious pets. They contain compounds that can make pets sick, so it's important to keep them somewhere your furry family members can't reach.


Are Arboricola toxic to dogs?

Arboricolas are toxic to dogs and can cause drooling, vomiting, and mouth irritation if nibbled on by curious pups. If your dog gets a taste, contact your vet right away - we always recommend being cautious with plant safety around pets.


Are Arboricola toxic to cats?

Arboricolas are toxic to cats, causing drooling and stomach upset that can make them quite uncomfortable and miserable. Keep it away from curious kitties who might think those umbrella leaves look tempting to explore with their mouths and paws.


Factoids

How tall do Schefflera Arboricolas get?

Indoor Schefflera Arboricolas typically reach 3-8 feet tall (0.9-2.1 meters), perfect for making a statement without overwhelming your living space completely. Outdoors in their natural habitat they can hit 25 feet - but don't worry about that happening indoors, even with proper care!


Is an Arboricola air-purifying?

Your Arboricola works quietly to remove toxins like benzene and formaldehyde from your air while looking lovely doing it. It’s a living air filter that just needs occasional watering and appreciation for all that hard work around your home.


Why is Schefflera Arboricola called an Umbrella Plant?

Those lovely leaves feature 7-9 leaflets radiating from each stem like perfect umbrella spokes in such a distinctive pattern! Once you see that arrangement, you'll understand exactly why this Umbrella Plant earned such a fitting and descriptive name.

Quality material and looks good.
Color: Green
Great chew toy for medium to large dogs. Seems to hold up to their chewing. Very heavy and could damage floors or furniture if your dog happens to throw it in the air.

Held Up Better Than Most for My Aggressive Chewer
Color: purple, Color: purple
I have to give the Fuufome Dog Chew Toy for Aggressive Chewers a solid 3 out of 5 stars. I have a very high-energy Lab mix named Boone who is an extremely aggressive chewer. Finding toys that last in our house is nearly impossible. This is actually his second toy like this - the first one is currently in my yard in three different pieces. While I don’t believe this toy was advertised as indestructible, I still hoped it would fully survive Boone’s chewing. Some parts have held up well, which is more than I can say for many other toys we’ve tried. However, he was still able to do some noticeable damage to the rubber portion after consistent use. To be fair, it did last longer than most toys we’ve purchased, which says a lot considering how tough Boone is on his things. For moderate chewers, I think this would hold up quite well. For truly aggressive chewers like mine, it’s tougher than average but still may show wear over time.

Best toy for heavy chewers
Color: Green
My dog is an aggressive chewer and I have trouble finding toys that last longer than 5 minutes before being so destroyed it is no longer safe to let him keep it. He loves this toy and naws on it for hours daily. Yes, it has multiple chew marks, but it is still intact completely. No little pieces have been chewed off. I highly recommend this toy for any dog especially those who destroy every toy in seconds like mine does.

NOT Indestructible and a Nylon Product (NOT A CHEW TOY)
Color: Green, Color: Green
I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Bruce” the Green Alligator! Unfortunately, I didn’t notice in the fine print of the product description on the website that this toy consisted of Nylon. If I noticed that description, I would’ve never purchased this product. Please do your own research on Nylon wrt teeth. I wasn’t impressed with the toy construction out of the box. The nylon head and tail sandwich the rubber body with soft rubber spines on Bruce’s back for easy gripping. This is not an “Indestructible” dog toy. Safety (1-rating): 1. I was always concerned about my dog’s teeth possibly cracking while he was chewing on Bruce’s Nylon ends. Thankfully, his teeth were fine throughout the use of this toy. 2. The Nylon came off in small pieces after a few hours and continued for the life of the toy; see picture. I never intended for my dog to swallow pieces of Nylon. 3. Bruce’s rubber rear end is where most of the damage occurred, as my dog was tearing off pieces of rubber and spines, which he thankfully passed through his system over a period of 2-3 days after I threw Bruce away; see picture. 4. The chewed-up Nylon ends were very hard, rough, sharp and pointy. There were occasions where I noticed my dog’s gums were bleeding as a result of chewing this toy. 5. Bruce is big enough not to swallow in its entirety, which is why I’m giving this a 1-rating for safety. 6. This is a molded product and not a plush product. Durability (2-rating): 1. It took my dog 1 to 2-weeks to get the toy in the shape that is shown on the posted photos. 2. The Nylon was immediately being scratched and scraped apart on day-1. Then I noticed pieces of Nylon coming off of Bruce after 3-4 days. 3. The rubber was immediately being punctured with small divots around the body on day-1. I noticed over the next couple of days that my dog was focusing on the rear end and trying to pull the rubber off the Nylon tail. 4. The rubber started coming off more quickly after 1-week, until I removed it all together. Squeaker (N/A): 1. Bruce has no squeaker. Fatality (2-rating): 1. Bruce had a longer life than most of my dog’s toys, but then again, I expected this to last much longer as the seller claims it is “Indestructible”, which it is not. 2. I tried filing off some of Bruce’s chewed up Nylon ends to smooth them out for more chew time, but came to my senses and just threw him away for safety concerns only. In conclusion, “Bruce” the Green Alligator should not be given as a chew toy, but more as a fetch toy, unless you want your dog to digest the Nylon and rubber materials.
