Walisongo Batang | Dwarf Umbrella Tree | Schefflera arboricola

The plant’s botanical name honors a 19th century botanist from Poland, J.C. Scheffler and its Latin name means tree-like, as their most distinctive features are their unique animated evergreen shrub. They are commonly planted in tropical cities’ landscapes and they also adapt and compliment well in indoor environments for office and home spaces.

To keep this plant alive, water thoroughly and let it dry between watering. The plant tolerates a lot of indoor conditions, but they will love you better if placed in brighter areas. If taken care of well, they’re superbly long-lived!
