Origin
The Schefflera trinette is a popular house plant that originates from the tropical regions of Taiwan and South China. The plant is named after Jacob Christoph Scheffler, an 18th-century German doctor and botanist. The plant is part of the Araliaceae family, known for their large diversity of leaf types and plant sizes.

Characteristics
The Schefflera trinette is characterised by its brightly spotted green and white leaves, which grow in clusters from a central stem to form an umbrella-like structure. The plant has a strong branched growth style and can, in ideal conditions, grow into a substantial shrub. Moreover, the plant grows quite quickly, which makes it a popular choice among both beginning and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Care
The Schefflera trinette requires a moderate amount of care. The plant prefers a substantial amount of indirect sunlight and is best grown at warm temperatures around 15-24 degrees Celsius. It's important to water the plant sufficiently, but avoid water saturation to prevent root rot. The plant also requires a high humidity, which can usually be achieved by regularly spraying it.
