Marble Schefflera at a Glance
Marble Schefflera Bio
Marble Schefflera is a tropical wonder, and its resilience and ease-of-care make it a plant lover’s favorite. It wears clusters of striking gold and green oval-shaped leaflets that hang playfully to form little canopies, giving it the quirky nickname ‘Umbrella Tree’. Native to the subtropical forests of Asia and Australia, this evergreen shrub effortlessly brings the jungle indoors and brightens up any room.
Light Instructions
Schefflera grows best in a space with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly, and can also adapt to spaces with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

On your Schefflera's first few days at home, you may see yellow or dropped leaves; this is no reason for concern. Simply shake off or cut the leaf, and look forward to new and better-adjusted leaves growing. To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month. To maintain its aesthetic shape and height, you may periodically prune it to your liking.
Umbrella plants, also known as Scheffleras, prefer to be kept in humidity levels between 40-60%. Misting the leaves can slightly increase the humidity around the plant, but it should not be misted frequently or too heavily, as this can lead to fungal or bacterial growth on the leaves. It's best to use a humidifier or place a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity levels. Misting may not be necessary during the winter when watering is pulled back to allow more time for the soil to dry out.
