Origin
The Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta', also known as the dwarf umbrella plant, is a species from the ivy family (Araliaceae). This plant has its origin in the subtropical regions of Taiwan and Hainan, where it grows in the forests and hills.

Characteristics
The Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta' is an evergreen plant known for its lush leaves. These leaves are typically arranged in an umbrella-like formation, giving the plant its nickname. The 'Compacta' denomination in the name indicates that this variant has a more compact growth and smaller leaf size compared to the original Schefflera species. The plant can reach a height of up to 4 meters, but often stays smaller in pots.

Care
For the care of the Schefflera arboricola 'Compacta', it is important to choose a warm location with a lot of indirect light. It is important that the soil dries out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, a condition that can be fatal for the plant. The plant also needs high humidity, which can be replicated by regularly spraying the plant with water.
