Umbrella Tree - Schefflera Variegated
The variegated umbrella tree is a delight to grow both indoors and out. A compact evergreen shrub with glossy variegated foliage. Very versatile and easy to grow, it is suitable indoors in a wide variety of positions, or outdoors in shady or dappled positions. Drought tolerant once established, it can be pruned back annually to promote bushy growth or maintained at a height. Ideal for pots and large containers, in the garden, patio, or any bright indoor space. For enhanced growth we recommend using Troforte M Indoor & Patio Slow Release fertiliser. Schefflera Variegated reaches 1-1.5m height and 2m width.
Water: Water well and often when freshly planted and during hotter periods. In the garden, use a chunky mulch, we recommend using Aussie Organics Chunky Pine Bark.
Sun: Indoors, in bright indirect to full sun (North, South or East facing windows). Outdoors in full shade, full morning sun or dappled positions. Keep out of Westerly facing windows or afternoon sun exposure.
Soil: In the garden a fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner and Charlie Charcoal prior to planting. Indoors a well-draining, fertile indoor mix. We recommend using The Home Plant Co Indoor Potting Mix.
