Planting: During the winter months, the Dwarf Umbrella enjoys bright light. As for spring and summer, it does well with indirect light and a bit of dappled shade. However, the Umbrella Plant prefers warm temperatures, so be sure to keep it away from drafty areas. When you're repotting or planting your Umbrella, select a container that's twice the width of the shipped container and one that has drainage holes. You can also plant your Umbrella Tree outside as a landscape shrub in warmer climates - they're extremely popular for this use in Florida! 2. Watering: Water your Schefflera Plant lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind: Put your finger in the soil to check its level of moisture. There is no need to water your Dwarf Umbrella until you have a full inch of dryness starting from the top of the soil.
