Characteristics

Schefflera 'Amate' (Schefflera actinophylla 'Amate'), commonly known as an Umbrella Tree or Octopus Tree, is an easy-to-care-for tropical houseplant that can grow up to 10 feet tall. It is perfect for a large, naturally lit corner of your home or office. The Schefflera 'Amate' has broad, glossy green leaves and develops from bushy to a tree form as it ages.

How to Care for Umbrella Trees

  • Light: Medium to bright indirect light
  • Water Preferences: Allow the soil to dry significantly between watering. Prefers periodic deep watering over frequent shallow watering.
  • Special Care/Notes: Rotate your plant periodically to allow sun exposure on all sides if it's placed in a corner.

"Favorite place to buy trees and shrubs and they have a cute indoor retail gift shop! I usually buy gift cards here for teacher appreciation gifts."

"I brought my girls here to have a homeschool lesson about botany for their science study! We had one of their employees, Evan, walk us around the center and take us into the greenhouses. I felt like he went above and beyond to help my girls with what they need to know and it was great! My kids had a great time and he knew what he was talking about. Thanks again Evan!"

"Beautiful nursery filled with the most beautiful selection and variety of anything you can think of! Trees, flowers, indoor/outdoor plants of every kind you can imagine, a wide variety of fantastic retail products and more! Very great customer service from the staff and available to help with a smile. A bit on the pricier side compared to other nurseries in the area, but also worth the money spent on quality products! Will definitely be back 😊"

"What a fun and whimsical nursery. There is something for everyone. It feels like every turn you find another treasure. Pricing is boutique-like but plenty of items on the under $15 side. We went in today for greeting cards and found the perfect cards for my grandma. I've purchased many garden supplies and plants here as well. They always have great quality and variety. The owner is amazing, generous, and community focused."
