Like most houseplants, the Schefflera Amate plant is a tropical plant with large leaves. Its glossy foliage is what makes the plant so attractive to plant parents. Commonly called the Umbrella Tree, Schefflera should not give you much trouble. Nonetheless, you should take some measures to ensure healthier and fuller growth. Let’s see what you need to know about the umbrella plant. 

If you love wild tropical vibes in your home but can’t commit to high-maintenance plants, the Schefflera Amate is a great option. But keep in mind that if you are looking to grow it outdoors, it might take up a good piece of your property. That’s because it can grow over 10 inches tall. On the other hand, indoor Schefflera grows at a moderate rate.
