Golden Umbrella Tree

This South American/Caribbean queen likes it nice and warm (18-26°C) but can handle as low as 15°C. Regularly water and mist your silver Philodendron to keep it looking ready for its subjects. Unlike Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Silver Queen isn't a Corgie fan, and it is toxic to children and pets.

Originating from East Asia, this Prickle Plant loves bright, indirect sunlight and a warm humid environment (15-24°C). We think it's the perfect plant for a living room or hallway; just remember to mist occasionally to keep it happy. If it is too cold your Dwarf Umbrella Tree may lose some leaves. To perk it back up, give it a nice warm drink of water.

Your Umbrella Tree can quickly grow up to 2m in height, however, you can trim it down to fit into your home. These tall houseplants don't like moving locations, so it may take a few weeks for them to settle into their new space. Be sure to keep little ones and pets away from your Schefflera plant as it is toxic to them.
