Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta'

Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta', also known as Dwarf Umbrella Tree 'Compacta', is a variety of the Schefflera arboricola species. It's a popular indoor plant appreciated for its compact size and attractive foliage. Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta' features glossy, dark green leaves that radiate from a central point on the stem, resembling the shape of an umbrella. Compared to the standard Schefflera arboricola, the 'Compacta' variety typically has smaller leaves and a more compact growth habit.

Like other varieties of Schefflera arboricola, 'Compacta' is known to help improve indoor air quality by filtering out pollutants and toxins, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene.

• Light: Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta' prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive several hours of filtered sunlight each day. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly.

• Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Water the plant thoroughly, ensuring that excess water drains away from the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

• Fertilization: Feed Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta' with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Trim back any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also prune back excessive growth to maintain the desired size and shape.
