The undemanding Variegated Schefflera is graceful with small, oval-shaped leaves spotted with yellow and cream variegation. This lush plant is known as the octopus plant due to its leaves arranged in a circular fashion in groups of five to nine leaflets. It’s easy-going, which makes it perfect to gift to a family member or friend in need of some greenery in their home, or simply to add to your own plant collection.

Native to Taiwan and South China, the Variegated Schefflera enjoys low to bright indirect light and the occasional boost of humidity. This slow-growing houseplant is both undemanding and low-maintenance, making for a great addition to that special spot in your home and for those with limited time for plant care.
