Native habitat and growth pattern
Schefflera arboricola, also known as the Umbrella Plant, originates from the tropical rainforests of Taiwan and Hainan. In the wild, it grows as a small tree or shrub, forming broad clusters of umbrella-shaped leaves. Indoors, its twisted and braided trunk makes it extra special – a living piece of natural art that thrives in modern interiors.

Twisted Schefflera Tree care guide
Light requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts to lower light. Avoid harsh, direct sun which may scorch the leaves.
Watering:
Water when the top two inches of soil feel dry. Allow water to drain freely and never leave the plant standing in water.
Feeding:
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a gentle liquid fertiliser. Our vegan, organic plant food is perfect for supporting strong, healthy growth.
Humidity:
Enjoys occasional misting or a gentle wipe of the leaves to keep them looking fresh.
Pet safety:
Best kept out of reach of cats and dogs, as chewing the foliage may cause mild tummy upsets.
