Umbrella Tree
Scientific Name: Schefflera arboricola
Plant Family: Araliaceae
Native Region: Taiwan and Hainan Island (China)

Brief Description
The Umbrella Tree appears to be a young or recently pruned specimen, characterized by its upright stem and compound leaves. The leaves are palmate, meaning they have leaflets radiating out from a central point, resembling an umbrella. In the provided image, the leaves appear somewhat light green and slightly droopy, suggesting either a young plant or one under some stress.
Care Instructions
Umbrella Trees thrive in bright, indirect light. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings, as they are susceptible to root rot if overwatered. They prefer moderate humidity. Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Pruning can be done to maintain shape and size.
