Quick Care Guide

Light:Umbrella plants like a bright corner near a window, indirect sunlight is best. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch their leaves. Leaves will start to fall if this plant isn't given enough light!

Humidity: Maintain a temperature between 12-23C and like medium humidity levels. Mist your plant regularly or place it near a humidifier to create the perfect environment. Avoid putting near cold drafts or heat sources.

Fertilising: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Umbrella Plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser, it is always advised to follow the instructions on your fertiliser. Reduce feeding in the dormant winter months.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and most pets.

Repotting: No need to repot, Gentle trim roots if they reach the water.
