🌿 Schefflera arboricola ‘Charlotte’ Care Guide

The Charlotte is a bright, variegated take on the classic Umbrella Plant, with glossy green leaves splashed in creamy white. Bushy, elegant, and low-fuss, it’s the perfect plant for adding a fresh, airy look to any corner.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep variegation bold

• Can adapt to medium light but may grow slower

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry

• Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy

• Loves good drainage—don’t let water sit at the bottom

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers average household humidity

• Adaptable, but occasional misting keeps leaves glossy

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Reduce feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Prune lightly to keep a compact, bushy shape

• Wipe leaves to remove dust and show off variegation

• Not pet-safe—keep away from cats and dogs
