Variant

Alpine Umbrella Tree, also known as Schefflera Alpine, is a dwarf form of the popular Australian umbrella tree. It stands out due to its slender growth pattern, which contrasts with the more expansive growth of the Australian umbrella tree. Its compact size and graceful appearance make it a favourite for indoor settings, where it can add a touch of nature's elegance. The deep green leaves of the Alpine are reminiscent of the larger umbrella tree but are presented in a more refined manner.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Alpine Umbrella Tree

Sun: Indirect

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Low

They will thrive in medium to bright light, but also can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed almost anywhere in the room but remember, plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When mostly dry

They like the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Water more often in the warmer months!

Humidity: Any

They can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Caution

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Alpine Umbrella Tree, or Schefflera Alpine, a majestic emblem of highland beauty that reminds us of the grandeur of nature's alpine realms and the fortitude it takes to thrive in challenging conditions.

Schefflera Alpine, with its glossy, palmate leaves, stands tall and proud, reminiscent of the robust trees braving the lofty heights of mountain ranges. Its umbrella-like arrangement of leaves unfolds a story of resilience and adaptation, as the plant flourishes even when conditions aren’t perfect. It's as if each leaf whispers tales of mountaintops kissed by clouds and the serene beauty of alpine meadows.

To give this mountain monarch the ideal setting, place it in bright, indirect light. It thrives best when it's reminded of the filtered sunlight piercing through tall alpine trees. The luminous sheen of its leaves will teach you about the joys of finding light, even in shadowed places.

For watering, the Alpine Umbrella Tree favours moderation. Let the soil dry out somewhat between waterings, mirroring the occasional rain showers of its native highlands. In its care routine, it underscores the importance of balance and patience.

As it grows, the Alpine Umbrella Tree might stretch its branches, reaching skyward, embodying the spirit of alpine trees that endlessly strive towards the heavens.

Bring the Schefflera Alpine into your space, and let it infuse your home with a touch of mountain magic. It's not just a plant; it's a testament to the splendour of high altitudes and the resilience required to prosper amidst challenges.
