Schefflera actinophylla 'Amate' is a tropical powerhouse of Schefflera varieties. With the largest leaves of any Schefflera, these plants are eye-catching, powerful air purifiers, and a breeze to care for. Unique wide-spanning umbrella-like foliage, made up of between 7-16 individual leaflets, adds a touch of wild tropical beauty to any indoor jungle.
Schefflera actinophylla is a real style statement. Beauty, ease, and air-purifying prowess—all packed into one green giant.
Please note: Schefflera are prone to stress after a change in location and leaf drop is common. Your plant should stabilise within a few months.
Horty Hints
Forget the cosy corner - actinophylla is a boundary buster. With a bushy, wide reaching growth pattern, this tropical beauty needs space to spread.
If the leaves are turning black before dropping, the plant has been overwatered. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering.
Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep your Umbrella Tree looking fresh and feeling fine.
