Live Braided Schefflera Tree (Schefflera arboricola): Tropical Foliage Houseplant. Bring home a live Braided Schefflera Tree, known for decorative trained trunk and green foliage. Its upright shape adds a natural focal point to living rooms, entryways, and office spaces. The foliage and overall form bring a distinctive botanical look to indoor plant displays.
Available nursery pot sizes: 6, 10, 12 inches (measured across the top rim). Select your preferred size.
-
Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid harsh midday sun to help protect the foliage.
-
Watering: Water when the upper portion of soil has dried. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain.
-
Care: Use a well-draining mix and rotate for even growth. Prune leggy stems to maintain fullness. Best indoors; outdoors in warm, sheltered weather. Ideal temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
-
Growth & expectations: New clusters of leaflets develop along the growing stems. With time, the plant can become taller and more branched; pruning helps manage its shape. Actual growth depends on light, season, and care.
