Schefflera arboricola 'Gold Capella'

For those who want a specimen-size house plant, consider 'Gold Capella' schefflera, aka Parasol Plant or Umbrella Tree. Given a well-lit room, deep but infrequent watering, and periodic misting/cleaning of leaves, this multi-stemmed specimen can grow four to six feet tall and two to four feet wide. Gold splotches on the palmate leaves add color to predominantly dark green leaves. Though some consider this a low-maintenance plant, scheffleras do appreciate having their leaves cleaned periodically, and the bigger the plant, the bigger the job. We think it's well worth it, and your 'Gold Capella' umbrella plant will be all the brighter for it.
