The Schefflera standard tree, also known as the Umbrella Plant, is defined by its hand-shaped leaves, each composed of several small, oval leaflets with a glossy green surface. The full, tropical silhouette and upright stem give the plant a calm yet prominent presence. Available variants range in height from 150 to 200 cm, with corresponding pot sizes from Ø30 to Ø40 cm.
This is a plant that works well wherever height and greenery are needed to anchor a space. Hotel lobbies, open-plan offices, waiting areas in healthcare settings and retail interiors are all suitable environments. The Schefflera thrives in bright indirect light and tolerates moderate light, making it adaptable to a range of interior configurations.
Water when the top layer of soil feels dry and avoid prolonged standing water around the roots. When selecting a height, consider the clearance above the pot and the proportional relationship with surrounding furniture and fittings. Each plant is packed in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective cover around both plant and soil and secured for transit so it arrives in good condition.
Is the Schefflera standard tree suitable for indoor use only? Yes, this plant is intended for indoor use. The ideal position is a spot with plenty of indirect light; it will also tolerate moderate light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can cause leaf burn.
How much maintenance does the plant require in a commercial setting? Maintenance is minimal. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry and ensure water does not sit around the roots. This makes the plant well suited to spaces where plant care is carried out on a periodic rather than daily basis.
How do I choose the right height for a particular space? Variants are available from 150 to 200 cm. Consider the clearance above the pot and the proportional relationship with surrounding furniture or architectural features. For high ceilings or a strong vertical statement, the larger variants are the logical choice.
Can I order multiple units for a project? Yes, ordering per unit or in larger quantities for a project is straightforward. This allows you to create a consistent planting scheme across multiple rooms or floors. The order is dispatched as a single consignment.
How is the plant packaged and what is the lead time? Each plant is packed in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants. The plant and soil are enclosed in a protective cover and the plant is secured within the box. Delivery takes five working days.
