Overview
About this tree
The Hawaiian Umbrella (Schefflera arboricola) forms a dense, rounded canopy of leaves that radiate out like tiny umbrellas. It is one of the few bonsai that stays healthy in more modest indoor light, which makes it a practical choice for rooms without a bright window.
Why you'll love it
- Full, green canopy gives an instant sense of a small tree.
- Copes with lower light better than most bonsai species.
- Vigorous growth means it bounces back from beginner pruning.
Basic care
What looking after it actually involves
- Light
- Medium to bright indirect light. Tolerates a spot further from the window.
- Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist. Water when the surface starts to dry, usually every 4–7 days.
- Difficulty
- Easy — resilient and quick to recover.
- Indoor suitability
- Happiest indoors at normal room temperature; it dislikes cold.
Who this tree is best for
Anyone whose home does not get strong direct sun, or who wants a leafy, tropical-looking tree.
