Schefflera Bonsai Plant (Umbrella Tree) – 15 Inch, Red Oval Pot

The Schefflera bonsai, also called the dwarf umbrella tree (Schefflera arboricola), is one of the most forgiving indoor bonsai you can own. Each leaf cluster opens like a small green umbrella, and this tree shows off a group of pale, speckled trunks standing on sculpted aerial roots over the soil. It stands about 15 inches (38 cm) tall and comes planted in an 11-inch red oval plastic bonsai pot, ready to display.

Why it suits Indian homes

• Handles low light: grows happily in a bright room or office without direct sun, which is rare for a bonsai
• Tolerant: copes with dry indoor air, AC and the odd missed watering better than most bonsai
• Evergreen: glossy green canopy all year, no seasonal leaf drop
• Air-purifying houseplant: Schefflera is commonly listed among air-purifying indoor plants

Care

• Sunlight: bright, indirect light; a spot near a window is ideal. Avoid harsh afternoon sun through glass
• Watering: water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, roughly every 3–5 days in summer and less in winter. Never let it sit in water
• Fertilizing: feed every 30–45 days with NPK 19:19:19 or vermicompost during the growing months
• Pruning: pinch new shoots back to 2–3 leaves to keep the dome-shaped canopy compact

Ideal for

FAQs

Can a Schefflera bonsai live indoors?
Yes. Schefflera is one of the best bonsai for indoors because it tolerates lower light than Ficus or Jade. Give it the brightest indirect light you have.

How often should I water a Schefflera bonsai?
Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. In most Indian homes that is every 3–5 days in summer and about once a week in winter.

Why is my Schefflera dropping leaves?
Usually overwatering or a sudden move to a much darker spot. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings and keep it in steady, bright indirect light.

Is Schefflera safe for pets?
Schefflera leaves contain calcium oxalate and can irritate the mouth of cats and dogs if chewed, so place it out of reach of pets and small children.

What size is this bonsai?
The plant is about 15 inches (38 cm) tall and the red oval pot is about 11 inches (28 cm) wide. Each plant is natural, so shape and size vary slightly from the photos.
