  • Hailing from Taiwan and parts of Hainan in Southern China, the schefflera arboricola (also known as the dwarf umbrella tree), is a beautiful foliage plant widely used in landscaping. It is easy to care for and can attain either a tree-like shape, or a bush-like one should you prune it often. In this video I share with you the care tips as well as the propagation in soil and in water (with updates at the end of the video as usual).

    Thanks, informative as usual! After several years, my large variegated Schefflera stopped growing. It wasn't dying, but for 6 months or more, it didn't show any signs of growth at all. I repotted it, fed it, gave it more light, all the things. It just sat there like it was in a coma. I was just about to give up on it, but gave it one last chance and cut the top half off. Within a month it had sent out several new branches, and has since more than doubled in size. Now I know I should have chopped it sooner!

    I can't believe this channel still doesn't have a million subscribers 🤔 perfect videos, great care tips and wonderful plants 🤩

    I seriously love that you always follow up on your propagations! That is the real worth and makes your videos so much better than all the others who just tell you what they do without ever showing proof of concept later.

    I stuck a mature green form with a woody stem into my fish tank situated in low light as an experiment. Lost the roots, lost about a foot of the stem from rot and chops, but it eventually stopped rotting and started to grow roots. It’s a happy camper now and does a good job sucking up all those nitrates with its hefty water roots 😁 i give the baby leaves tiny high fives too 😂

    In South Florida, they are a landscape staple. You find bushes in a lot of the houses. They definitely can take full sun.

    I have a regular green one. It's about 30 years old and huge. Was my hubby's father's plant, now I look after it. I've taken many propogations to share and just in case something happens to the parent plant. I find it quite easy to care for and propogate.

    I actually rooted one all green petiole in perlite, I was surprised it worked, took quite awhile but worked. Love the variegated one.

    In Greece they are common indoor outdoor plants! You can literally find them everywhere!

    Thanks for this video! I had similar experience a couple years back with mine. Tried leaves, and cuttings had a bout 50% success rate and shared them. I'm sure you had better success! Stay safe and sane! Hope moving and nursery going well.

    Thank you for the awesome video! I've watched a ton on propagating the schefflera and this one is pretty comprehensive with the update.

    I have always liked the fragrance these plants give off when you prune them.

    Lol you are too cute. I just got an umbrella plant from my mom and it was extremely root bound so i have just separated the plant and trimmed some of the roots before repotting. You're right they are stunning, I'm in love. But I'm trying to learn the best way to make it look fuller and not so leggy. So glad i found your videos. 😀
