The Schefflera arboricola 'Luseana' is characterised by its compact growth and fine leaf structure. The leaves of the plant consist of several leaflets and vary in colour from deep green to light green. The leaves are shiny and leathery. This plant can, under optimal conditions, ultimately reach a height of 4 meters.

Care
The Schefflera arboricola 'Luseana' prefers a light to semi-shady position, but avoid prolonged direct sunlight. It is important to water the plant regularly, but excess water must be able to drain away to prevent root rot. The plant requires high humidity, so it is useful to mist the leaves regularly. Furthermore, the Schefflera arboricola 'Luseana' needs nutrients, so it is advisable to add fertilisers to the irrigation water during the growing season.
