Schefflera arboricola ‘Luseana’, also known as the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a neat, compact houseplant with clusters of slender, glossy green leaflets that radiate like tiny umbrellas. This younger plant may be small, but it already has the fresh, architectural character that makes Schefflera such an easy favourite indoors.

‘Luseana’ is a finer-leaved form of Schefflera arboricola, giving it a slightly more delicate and elegant look than broader-leaved umbrella plants. It works beautifully on a shelf, desk or windowsill, bringing a tidy burst of greenery without taking up much space.

Easy to care for and forgiving once settled in, this is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant lovers. Place it in bright, indirect light for the best growth, though it will also tolerate moderate light. Water thoroughly, then allow the top layer of compost to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid leaving it sitting in water, especially in lower light.

Over time, Schefflera arboricola ‘Luseana’ will grow into a fuller, bushier plant with a smart upright habit, making it a brilliant one to grow on at home.

Why we love it

• Compact and easy to place in smaller spaces
• Glossy umbrella-like foliage with a neat, elegant look

Plant care

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, though it will tolerate moderate light
• Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry slightly before watering again
• Temperature: Keep above 12°C and away from cold draughts
• Humidity: Average household humidity is usually fine, though it appreciates a little extra humidity
