Schefflera amate - Umbrella Tree

Schefflera amate, commonly known as the Umbrella Tree, is a striking indoor plant known for its large, glossy green leaves that radiate in a graceful, umbrella-like pattern. Its lush and vibrant foliage adds a tropical touch. This hardy plant is low-maintenance and an excellent air purifier, ideal for creating a fresh and inviting indoor environment.

Happiest in in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top layer feels dry, avoiding overwatering to prevent root rot. Regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season supports healthy growth. Its bold structure makes it a perfect fit for modern, tropical, or minimalist interiors.

At maturity, Schefflera amate can reach a height of 2–3 metres indoors, with a spread of around 1–2 metres, making it a striking statement plant with its lush, expansive foliage.
