Schefflera arboricola ‘Gold Capella’ (Parasol Plant) 🌿✨
A fantastic and versatile houseplant with lush, glossy foliage. Known for its palm-like leaves splashed with gold, yellow, and pale green variegation, this variety adds instant brightness and texture to any room.

Fast-growing yet forgiving, it’s easy to care for and will even tolerate a little neglect. With the right trimming, it can be kept compact for tabletops or grown tall as a striking specimen floor plant. Bonus: it’s also an excellent air purifier.

How not to kill your Schefflera Arboricola ‘Gold Capella’

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Schefflera Arboricola ‘Gold Capella’. Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Surviving

Light: Indirect

I'm pretty flexible, actually. Generally I'd rather be in a bright spot, with plenty of indirect light. But if all you've got is a moderately shady corner, that's no biggie I'll happily adapt with perhaps a bit less watering. Just keep me out of any harsh, direct sun and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Watering: Regular

I'm a Thirsty Kirsty! I could drink most other plants under the table and still throw shapes on the dancefloor. Don't let me dry out or there'll be trouble, but remember, the art of drinking is slow & steady. Too much, too quick isn't good for any of us. Keep my soil moist but not soggy.
