Arbicola

Arbicola, commonly known as Schefflera arboricola or the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a tropical evergreen shrub native to Taiwan. It features glossy, green or variegated leaves that grow in a distinctive umbrella-like pattern. Arbicola is a popular houseplant due to its adaptability, low maintenance needs, and air-purifying qualities. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. When grown outdoors in warm climates, it can reach up to 10–15 feet tall, while indoor plants remain more compact. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape, making it an excellent choice for homes and offices.
