Description

The Schefflera Amate brings gentle elegance and natural beauty to your home with her graceful umbrella-shaped leaves and forgiving nature. The Schefflera plant has been quietly winning hearts for years, creating peaceful green spaces that feel like a warm embrace.

Also known as the Umbrella Tree, with glossy leaflets that fan out like nature's own parasol, it adds a touch of tropical calm to any room while working quietly to purify your air. It’ll steadily reach 8-10 feet indoors, giving you time to enjoy each stage of her journey without overwhelming your space. Her forgiving spirit makes Schefflera plant care wonderfully manageable, even if you're still finding your rhythm with plant parenthood. 


Care 

How do you care for a Schefflera Amate?

Your Schefflera Amate thrives with gentle, consistent care that feels natural once you get the hang of it. Bright indirect light keeps her happy, water when soil feels dry halfway down, and monthly feeding during the growing season.

We've found that Schefflera care works best when you develop a gentle routine with your plant. She appreciates attention but doesn't demand constant fussing, making her a wonderful companion for both new and experienced plant lovers.


Is Schefflera Amate an indoor plant? 

The Schefflera Amate has adapted beautifully to indoor life, growing into a stately presence that feels perfectly at home in your living space. She reaches a comfortable 8-10 feet tall indoors, creating vertical interest without overwhelming smaller rooms.

This variety has become so well-suited to indoor growing that many people forget she originally came from warmer climates. She's truly made herself at home with us.


How often should I water a Schefflera Amate?

Water your Schefflera Amate every 7-14 days, letting the top 30-50% of soil dry completely between waterings for healthy root development and growth. Trust your finger more than any calendar when checking proper soil moisture levels throughout the pot.

During warmer months, she'll be a bit thirstier as she puts energy into new growth. In winter, she naturally slows down and needs less frequent watering.


Does a Schefflera Amate like to be misted? 

Your Schefflera Amate appreciates occasional misting, especially during dry winter months when indoor heating systems can make the air quite harsh and uncomfortable. Think of it as a gentle spa treatment that helps her feel much more comfortable and happy.

While she tolerates average home humidity well, a light mist every so often helps prevent dry leaf edges and keeps spider mites at bay. It's one of those small kindnesses that makes a real difference.


Do Schefflera Amate plants like coffee grounds? 

Skip the coffee grounds for your Schefflera Amate, as they can hold too much moisture and create potential drainage issues that harm roots. Instead, stick with quality balanced fertilizer during spring and summer for the very best growing results.

Coffee grounds work better in outdoor compost than directly in houseplant soil. Your plant will be much happier with proper fertilizer designed for indoor plants.


Where should a Schefflera Amate be placed indoors? 

Place your Schefflera Amate near a north or east-facing window where she'll receive plenty of bright, filtered light without harsh direct sun exposure. A few feet back from south or west windows works absolutely beautifully too for optimal plant health.

Remember to rotate her occasionally so all sides get equal light exposure. This helps her grow evenly and prevents her from leaning too much toward the light source.


What is the best plant food for a Schefflera Amate? 

A balanced, all-purpose houseplant fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer gives your Schefflera Amate exactly what she needs for steady, healthy growth and development. Nothing fancy required, just consistent nutrition during her most active growing period each year.

Come winter, you can skip fertilizing entirely as she naturally rests during cooler months. It's pretty cool how plants know exactly when to slow down and conserve energy.


Do Schefflera Amate’s like sun or shade? 

Schefflera Amate prefers bright, indirect light that mimics the dappled sunlight she'd receive under taller trees in her natural habitat environment. She can adapt to medium light conditions but grows most beautifully with consistent brightness throughout the day.

Direct sunlight can actually burn her leaves, so add a sheer curtain to filter the light. Or, just position her away from intense windows to keep her comfortable and thriving.


Is Schefflera Amate good for a bedroom? 

The Schefflera Amate makes a lovely bedroom companion, quietly purifying your air while you sleep and tolerating the lower light levels bedrooms often have. Just make sure curious pets and children can't reach her delicate leaves or stems.

Her gentle presence adds a calming, natural element to bedrooms without being overwhelming. Many of our customers love having her peaceful energy in their most restful spaces.



Pet-friendly?

Your Schefflera Amate contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause discomfort for pets who nibble on her leaves, so she's best kept in spots where curious paws and noses can't reach her.


How toxic is Schefflera Amate to cats? 

The Schefflera Amate can cause oral irritation, drooling, and upset stomach if your cat takes a taste of her leaves. You’ll need to keep her in a room your feline friend doesn't frequent.

While not life-threatening, the calcium oxalate crystals can cause real discomfort. Prevention is always the kindest approach for both your pet and your plant.


Are Schefflera Amates toxic to dogs? 

Dogs who chew on Schefflera Amate may experience mouth pain, drooling, and digestive upset from the plant’s calcium oxalate crystals. Most dogs learn to leave plants alone, but it's wise to position plants where they won't tempt curious canine investigations.


Factoids

Is Schefflera Amate an air purifying plant?

Your Schefflera Amate works quietly around the clock, removing harmful chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene from your indoor air while adding natural beauty to your space. Think of her as a beautiful, living air filter that never needs replacing.


Where did Schefflera Amate get its name? 

The Schefflera genus is named after 18th-century German botanist Johann Peter Ernst von Scheffler, while the 'Amate' part of the name celebrates California nurseryman Archie Amate who selected and shared this particular variety with plant lovers everywhere.


Is there a cultural significance to Schefflera Amate? 

While the broader Schefflera family has come to be associated with protection and vitality, the 'Amate' variety is primarily treasured for bringing natural beauty and clean air into our daily lives. A pretty good reason to welcome one home.

I purchased a Large Chinese Evergreen as a gift for a friend and she loved it. The blue planter looked exactly like the photo and worked perfectly with her decor. The delivery was extremely fast and their customer service was very responsive and polite. The plant looked beautiful and healthy. I plan to purchase one for myself! I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks again!
