Overview

The leaves of this easy to grow house plant form in finger-like leaflets, which radiate out from a central point - hence the common name of 'umbrella tree'. These rich green leaflets are variously and irregularly splashed with yellow, so some will have a lot of yellow, while others may have none at all. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Place in bright but indirect light and keep well watered during the growing season - making sure that the excess water can drain away freely. Water less often in winter and maintain temperatures above 12°C. Mist the leaves regularly with water to improve the humidity around the plant, or sit the pot in a tray of moist shingle.
