Schefflera Alpine- Umbrella Tree

A beautiful and popular indoor houseplant, Schefflera Alpine- Umbrella Tree is also known as the Parasol plant because of the beautiful way the foliage is arranged. This fast growing plant can grow into a tall and narrow specimen if grown outside or in a good position indoors, but it responds well to pruning so it can be encouraged to become a smaller multi trunked and bushy plant quite easily.

With glossy green leaves the umbrella plant is a low maintenance plant that requires very little attention. It will tolerate bright light conditions but ensure it is protected from the harsh sunlight as this will burn the foliage, particularly in warmer climates. A relatively trouble free indoor plant, for best results water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings, and repot when it looks like the pot is becoming too small. Fertilise regularly and ensure your tree is regularly misted as these beautiful plants appreciate humidity.

**Planting out these advanced plugs is the best way of avoiding transplant shock and ensuring your plants settle in quickly and grow on well as the plants are young and fresh. Also, the root systems are healthy with no chance of the encircling roots that pots will encourage. Our professional growers have been using this method for years as it's the quickest way of ensuring top quality plants and we are excited to be able to offer our customers the same.
