Today, I would like to tell about the Schefflera arboricola. As you may know, most of the houseplants we know are tropical plants. That's why they flourish so well in our warm room climate. The Schefflera, also known as Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is native to Hainan and Taiwan.
This plant I got from mijn boyfriend's mother. She didn't know how long it is already standing in her room, but it's quit a long time. The plant is a little bit neglected, but after a dust turn, a pot with fresh soil and a bit of plant food, it will certainly grow again.
The Schefflera arboricola is a small tree. The roots are growing out of it's pot, so it will quickly get a new, bigger one.
Look how beautiful those leaves are!
