• About Schefflera tree

  In the wild, this schefflera is most commonly found in Taiwanese forests, where it might grow as tall as nine metres. This tree isn't quite nine metres, but it will definitely make your room feel like an indoor forest.

  If you need to move your schefflera, always be sure to lift it by the trunk or pot, not the stems, to avoid damaging the plant.

  In the wild it can affix itself to the trunks of other trees. So don't be alarmed if you see new roots emerging.
