Pro tips

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata can survive in lower light spaces provided there is some source of natural light, although its growth will most likely have less variegation and become "leggy", or stretched out and not very compact. Also, the watering will need to be reduced to prevent overwatering as the risk is heightened when the plant has access to less light and is less productive. Pruning can be done to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Regularly check for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat as necessary.

How to take care of Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata

Sun: Indirect

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata 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

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata will do well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Any

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Caution

Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata 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.

About Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata

Botanical Name: Schefflera arboricola 'Capella'

Common Name: Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata, Variegated Dwarf Umbrella Plant

Origin: Hybrid

Plant Story

Introducing the Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata, also known as Schefflera Arboricola 'Capella', a strikingly beautiful and resilient houseplant that brightens any indoor space with its variegated foliage and symmetrical growth. This variant of the well-loved Schefflera family is celebrated for its ability to bring a lush, tropical feel to more temperate environments, symbolizing growth, protection, and adaptability.

The Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata features glossy, umbrella-like leaves that radiate in clusters from central stems, each leaf splashed with vibrant green and creamy yellow hues. The variegation patterns add a lively contrast and visual interest, making this plant a focal point in any room. The 'Capella' cultivar, with its more compact size, is particularly suited for indoor environments where space might be limited but the desire for greenery is not.

To ensure your Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata thrives, place it in an area with bright, indirect light. This optimal lighting condition will enhance the leaf variegation and promote healthy, vigorous growth. While the plant is adaptable to lower light levels, too little light may cause the variegation to fade and reduce the plant’s overall vitality.

Watering should be consistent, allowing the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root issues, so ensuring good drainage is essential. This care routine underscores the plant's need for balance and moderate conditions, reflecting the importance of a measured approach in both plant care and life.

As the Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata matures, it maintains a well-proportioned, bushy appearance, ideal for filling corners or flanking furniture. Its air-purifying qualities further enhance its desirability, improving indoor air quality by removing pollutants and providing a constant supply of fresh oxygen.

Welcome the Dwarf Umbrella Tree Variegata into your home, and let it serve as a living reminder of nature’s resilience and beauty. It’s not just a plant; it’s a symbol of thriving under care, a beacon of lush beauty, and a practical addition to your indoor living space, enhancing both aesthetics and air quality.
