The Schefflera, or umbrella tree, is a small shrub that can reach up to 3 meters in height when grown indoors. The 'Trinette' variety has a slower growth rate and a smaller shape compared to most scheffleras. Its leaves are variegated with different shades of green. Growing from the ends of its long stems, its leaves are divided into 5 to 14 leaflets. It tolerates lower light levels. However, to ensure its optimal growth, it is recommended to provide it with bright light in a warm and humid environment. Temperature fluctuations and stagnant water can be fatal.
