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.


Buy a Schefflera Amate

Your home deserves a plant that gives back as much as it receives, and that's exactly what you'll find with the Schefflera Amate. She'll grow alongside you for years, quietly purifying your air and adding that perfect touch of natural elegance your space has been missing.

Getting words onto the page!
Format: Kindle
There seem to be as many books about how to write as there are actual writers, yet Anne Lamott makes a solid if not altogether inspiring contribution to the collection. Also known for her non-fiction books dealing with depression, Christianity, and alcoholism, in Bird by Bird author Lamott turns her humor and autobiographical lens toward offering sage advice and inspiration for writers of all levels. While far from Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, and mute on the meter of poetry and the tropes of science fiction, Lamott instead focuses more on psychological issues that confront and haunt writers from all genres, such as defeating the blank page, avoiding perfectionism obsessions, cranking out that first draft, and writing for the right reasons. A breadth of writing advice, Bird by Bird gets its title from wisdom Lamott's father once gave to her brother, incapacitated by the task of writing a school essay on birds. The senior Lamott advised the younger to break the assignment down into manageable chunks: "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird." Divided into five parts, in part one Lamott first addresses writing itself -- getting words onto the page. Lamott starts by giving the aspiring author permission to write and then by encouraging the author to just get the words onto the page. Go ahead, just create that first, messy draft: "Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere." She then suggests focusing more on creating compelling characters than worrying about plot: "If you focus on who the people in your story are, if you sit and write about two people you know and are getting to know better day by day, something is bound to happen." She even discusses a short story template -- action, background, development, climax, ending -- that can be used as an initial story structure. Dialog is important too, and compelling dialog can be influenced by real-life encounters, but the main goal is to get that first draft written, in short steps, a little each day. In part Two Lamott talks about the writing frame of mind -- about how authors can psyche themselves into writing using rituals at the beginning of each writing session and by believing in the stories they are telling. Part Three presents specific tools authors can use to help recall memorable quotes and scenes, how to collect new material, and how to gain feedback on drafts, such as using index cards on which to jot down ideas, joining or forming writing groups and sending drafts to a short-list of people an author trusts to give honest and useful feedback, and overcoming writer's block by refilling the author's emptiness through short exercises just to get the fingers moving. In part Four Lamott talks about the publication process and why an author simply giving herself to the writing act in and of itself is often the best reward: "There is no cosmic importance to your getting something published, but there is in learning to be a giver." Part Five contains final words of wisdom and encouragement for the budding author. For example, an author should not hesitate to use experiences from their childhood (and tips are given on how to avoid libel when using autobiographical material). Overall, rather than being the strict writing schoolmarm, Lamott is more like a writing companion. She chats over your shoulder with you at the end of the day, sipping a glass of wine, reflecting on her own experiences in the writing trenches, and sharing what worked for her in achieving success. Her advice is true and her voice is encouraging -- she uses self-deprecating humor to convince any reader that their writing anguish is neither new nor unique since Lamott herself has likely already confronted and conquered those same demons. She persevered and achieved success, and the reader of her book too shall overcome and get their story onto the page. She mentions God throughout, but she does not come across as preachy. Again, she's relating what worked for her, using anecdotes from memorable episodes in her life. There's no magic and no divine inspiration to solve writing problems--she uses real techniques and encouragement to help confront and conquer the blank page. Indeed, we can all use encouragement and insights from someone who's already been there. Like the oft-repeated "Practice, practice, practice" response by legendary pianist Arthur Rubinstein when he was stopped on a street in New York and was asked, "Pardon me sir, how do you get to Carnegie Hall?", Lamott's response to writers in Bird by Bird is just as wise and true, but perhaps even more motivational due to her humor and honest expression from the trenches.

Worthwhile, though average, experience
Format: Kindle
I'll start this review by stating that I'm not an aspiring novelist, at least at the moment. A hearty recommendation prompted me to read this book, though I had only a cursory idea of the subject matter. At a time when it seems that only raving praise or apoplectic hate receive meaningful attention, stating that something is only okay or average feels especially hostile. Unfortunately I must admit that was my finding of this book, that it was a middle of the road, if not totally unexceptional, experience that elicited little in the way of strong responses. Let me be clear: there is value in this book especially for the would-be writer looking for advice, try a sample to feel this book out and don't let my ambivalence scare you off. The positives should probably come first, right? The author is clearly passionate about the subject and it doesn't matter what the topic happens to be, when the writer cares about the topic it immediately makes the book more enjoyable to read. Ms. Lamott's writing is straightforward and honest and I appreciate that immensely. Another book I was reading concurrently too often felt pedantic and by comparison this one did not reek of this stench one bit. The author is perhaps overly generous in her use of quotes, but they're not cloying as if to convince you that she should be taken seriously. Instead these quotations are offered as useful pearls of wisdom. I come from a world of academia where too many quotations tend to be frowned upon, but you may like them so chalk this up to my own biases. While Ms. Lamott doesn't suffocate you with her qualifications, she is entirely within her rights to do so. I say this to illustrate the following point: if you are willing, this book can help you with something. As I said, I'm not looking to publish a novel, article or really anything but there are suggestions and advice that apply beyond the page. I count this as the book's main strength and what keeps it from being entirely forgettable. A challenge I often face, like any writers reading this review, is just getting started and the exhortation offered by the author was so true that I cannot help but to think of the help it will give me. The book is also humble, it doesn't get convoluted and I think avoiding that pitfall deserves praise. The negatives, specific to me perhaps, start with the sense that I found the description of writing and the writing process too mystical. Maybe this too irritates nerves made too sensitive by years of academic rather than creative writing, but if I were looking for advice on a finishing a short story the encouragement to "listen to my characters" would seem silly to me. I understand that the author can only relay what has been helpful to her but it at times seems overly caught up with the love affair of writing as opposed to more substantive things a person can try. Secondly, the tendency just mentioned all too often takes up more space than what seems to be needed and the book is consequently longer than it felt like it needed to be. Overall, I found this book to be a solid middle-of-the-road experience. I wouldn't dismiss it totally but I found myself having to look the other way on several occasions. That maybe speaks more to my background than anything else and if you are a fan of the author please don't take it that I'm trying to tarnish her work in any way. Really, I guess this review is more geared to the person like me who is perhaps not a writer in the sense envisaged by this book. Maybe you are being recommended at this very instant to pick up a copy and maybe, like me, you're somewhat skeptical. To this hypothetical person I say this: it is worth reading even if the starry-eyed expressions get a little trite after a while. I would argue that this is a bit of high praise by itself, it isn't too often that somebody would say that a generally average book is worth the time it takes to read it. I think that's worth something, maybe about as much as this book.

The ultimate "wake-up" scent (and no dry skin!)
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried plenty of "invigorating" body washes, but most of them just smell like artificial lime or leave my skin feeling tight. This Huron Body Wash is in a completely different league. Why it’s my new daily go-to: Complex, Fresh Scent: The mix of citrus, eucalyptus, and mint is incredible. It’s crisp and bold enough to wake you up in the morning, but the aromatic greens give it a sophisticated, high-end finish that doesn't smell like a cheap drugstore brand. Actually Moisturizing: Usually, "cleansing" washes strip your skin, but the coconut oil and Vitamin E in this actually leave my skin feeling smooth. I’ve noticed way less dryness on my elbows and shoulders since switching. Great Lather: A little goes a long way. It creates a rich, creamy lather that feels premium and rinses off clean without any slimy residue. The "Peace of Mind" Factor: It’s hard to find a performance-focused body wash that is also vegan and cruelty-free. Knowing I'm getting a professional-grade product without the harsh chemicals (and with Witch Hazel to keep my skin clear) makes the price totally worth it. Bottom Line: If you want to start your day smelling like a high-end spa rather than a locker room, get this. It’s worth every penny!

Great product that seems to last a good long time
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 12.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This has a subtly pleasant smell. I like it. I like the consistency too. I will order again. It's soft on my skin and super easy to use. I like the bottle size. It's not too big and it's not too small.

Smells Amazing, Premium Price
Scent: Sea Salt, Size: 11.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great body wash overall. It smells really good clean, fresh, and not overpowering. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey compared to other options, but the quality and scent definitely make it worth considering.
