Native to the shaded undersides of rainforest canopies in Australia and New Guinea, the Schefflera Amate (Schefflera actinophylla) is a fast-growing tropical tree that can reach up to 65 feet in its natural habitat! Commonly known as the Amate Umbrella Tree, it makes a striking addition to indoor spaces with its large, cascading green foliage.

This plant thrives in low light and doesn't require much water. To care for it, avoid overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out before watering again. For optimal placement, choose a Northern or Eastern-facing spot near a window for the best light conditions.
