Schefflera actinophylla (Brassaia) is a beautiful, tropical shrub or tree with a vigorous growth habit.

This beautiful Schefflera has a natural sheen and long, elongated leaves. The glossy green, leathery leaves are arranged on their slender stems like an umbrella, or like the fingers on a hand.

Schefflera actinophylla is native to tropical regions of northeastern Australia, Java, and New Guinea, where it can reach enormous sizes in open woodlands and monsoon rainforests.

As a houseplant, Schefflera is very versatile and adapts well to various conditions. Schefflera is easy to prune to any desired size. Keep it tall and slender to create a tree-like appearance that can cover a corner from floor to ceiling. Or keep it short and compact to sell it as a table plant.

Moreover, Schefflera is an excellent air purifier. Schefflera actinophylla is also known as the umbrella plant or Queensland umbrella tree.

Schefflera actinophylla propagation material is available all year round as seed.
