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, commonly called the Umbrella plant, is a tropical evergreen shrub native to warm regions. It features distinctive large, glossy leaves arranged in a circular pattern around a central stalk, creating an umbrella-like appearance. This ornamental plant is widely cultivated as an indoor foliage plant in India due to its attractive appearance and adaptability. The Schefflera can grow into a small tree in its natural habitat but maintains a manageable size when kept as a houseplant. Its bushy branching structure and lush foliage make it a popular choice for adding greenery to indoor spaces while requiring relatively little maintenance compared to other houseplants.
The Schefflera plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions better than many indoor plants. For optimal growth, place it where it receives morning sunlight or in a spot with bright, filtered light throughout the day. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. This plant is versatile enough for various locations in your home – from near east-facing windows to slightly darker corners of living rooms or offices. When grown outdoors, it prefers partial shade. The Schefflera's adaptability to different light conditions makes it an excellent choice for homes with varying light availability.
Schefflera plants prefer soil that is allowed to dry out between waterings. Water only when the top layer of soil feels completely dry to the touch. Overwatering is one of the most common issues with this plant, as it can lead to root rot and browning leaves. The plant benefits from occasional misting to increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments or during hot summer months. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler winter months. When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent waterlogging.
