Umbrella Plants are low-maintenance, easy-to-care-for plant that can, with the right care, grow into a stunning houseplant. 
 
120cm, pot width 27cm
160cm, pot width 34cm 
Why we love it:
We stock the large mature trees with wide and unusual twisted trunks because we think they look absolutely stunning and make for a better story. Although Umbrella Plants do well in bright and indirect light, they can also tolerate low light. You will find they grow more slowly and become leggy in medium-to-low light, which is a classic look we love at Happy Houseplants and one that clients of our style service love too!
 
Happy Plant Guide:
	
Pot in a rich fast draining soil with drainage holes at the bottom.
	
Water when the top 1" of soil has dried out, drench until water comes out of the bottom then leave to dry again.
	
Regularly dust with a damp cloth.
	
Mist the foliage regularly using rainwater in a spray bottle to mimic the plants humid natural environment. This guy likes humidity.
	
Standard liquid fertiliser can be applied once a month during Spring and Summer.
	
Check foliage for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Many pests can be removed simply by spraying the plant with a strong stream of water. You can also wash the leaves with insecticidal soap.
	
Repot every year during Spring. Check the bottom of the pot to see if the roots are growing out of the drainage holes or growing in a dense circle.
	
Direct light will hurt the leaves and then will curl as a way of asking for your help. Move the plant a little away from there window and they will spring open again.
