Variegated Arboricola -Umbrella plant

It makes an excellent low-maintenance houseplant, adding year-round beauty with its evergreen foliage. It can be grown in containers or in the ground in frost-free climates and is versatile in its placement, fitting well in corners or on patios. Like other Schefflera species, it is known to help purify the air indoors.

Indoors during winter: Place the plant in a spot that receives bright, indirect light, such as a few feet away from a south-facing window. While it can tolerate medium or low light, this will result in slower growth and less vibrant variegation.

Outdoors during summer: You can move the potted plant outdoors once all risk of frost has passed, usually in late spring. Choose a sheltered spot with partial sun or shade, as direct, intense midday sun can scorch the leaves.

Care Requirements

Light:

It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. 

Watering: 

Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. 

Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix for the best results. 

Pruning:

Variegated arboricola is easy to trim to maintain a desired size by simply cutting off tall, wayward stems just below the level of other foliage.
