Schefflera arboricola, also known as the dwarf umbrella tree, is a popular tropical houseplant native to Taiwan and Hainan. It features glossy, green (or variegated) palmate leaves arranged in an umbrella-like pattern. Compact and easy to care for, it thrives in bright, indirect light and tolerates occasional neglect. Its bushy form and decorative foliage make it a favorite for indoor spaces and container gardening.
