Pot size: 13cm
Height: 45cm
The Schefflera arboricola 'Gerda' (commonly known as the Variegated Dwarf Umbrella Tree) is a compact, bushy indoor plant loved for its distinctive hand-shaped leaf clusters. The 'Gerda' cultivar features beautiful, irregular variegation with splashes of creamy-yellow and bright gold against rich green foliage. Growing as a sturdy, miniature tree, this 45 cm specimen adds a cheerful, bright, and artistic touch to desks, shelves, or small tables.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. Good light is essential to keep its vibrant yellow variegation from turning solid green. Avoid direct, scorching midday sun.
💧 Water: Moderate. Water thoroughly when the top half of the soil has dried out. It is relatively drought-tolerant, but highly sensitive to overwatering, which can cause leaf drop.
🌡️ Temperature: Average to warm. Ideal temperatures are between 15°C and 24°C. Avoid placing it near cold winter drafts or heaters.
⚠️ Toxicity: Velenoso / Toxic. Contains calcium oxalate crystals. It is toxic to pets and humans if chewed or swallowed
