About Variegated Schefflera
The Variegated Schefflera (Schefflera arboricola), commonly known as the Umbrella Plant, is native to Taiwan and Hainan and is adored for its glossy, palmate leaves with creamy yellow variegation. Its name comes from the way its leaves fan out like the spokes of an umbrella.
When styled as a Kokedama, this plant takes on a bonsai-like aesthetic, offering a natural, sculptural quality that feels both modern and serene. Its growth can be pruned for a fuller look or allowed to develop naturally for a more airy, artistic shape.
