Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Schefflera is a tropical evergreen shrub or small tree, native to warm regions like Taiwan and Hainan. It's characterized by its large, glossy, dark-green leaves that grow in a distinctive circular pattern, resembling an umbrella. This unique foliage structure gives it the common name 'Umbrella plant.' In its natural habitat, it can grow quite tall, but as a houseplant, it maintains a manageable size while still making a bold statement. The plant's bushy growth habit and vibrant leaves make it an excellent ornamental choice for adding life to indoor spaces. At gardengro, we source healthy specimens that adapt well to home environments, ensuring you get a plant that's both beautiful and resilient.
Schefflera plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making them versatile for various indoor spaces. In Indian homes, placing them near east-facing windows where they receive morning sun is ideal. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. The plant can adapt to medium light conditions, though growth may slow slightly. For best results, rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides. Schefflera can also be placed in well-lit living rooms, hallways, or offices where it can brighten the space without requiring direct sunlight. Its adaptability makes it suitable for both homes and workplaces across different regions in India.
Schefflera plants prefer soil that's allowed to dry out between waterings. Water only when the top layer of soil feels completely dry to the touch, which typically means watering every 7-10 days depending on light and temperature conditions. Overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot and browning leaves, so it's better to underwater than overwater. The plant benefits from occasional misting, especially in dry climates or during air-conditioned summers, as it enjoys moderate humidity. In India's varying climate, adjust watering frequency during monsoon when humidity is naturally higher. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the plant's health.
