Umbrella Plant 'Trinette' in nursery pot

Brighten a room with the variegated foliage of tropical Umbrella Plant 'Trinette.' This native of Taiwan and China’s Hainan Island is a bushy, multi-stemmed Dwarf Umbrella Plant (Heptapleurum arboricola) that produces glossy, compound, oval leaves blending colors of dark green, yellow, and cream. The variegation is most pronounced in bright, indirect light. Too much shade may result in greener leaves. Mature plants grow to about 3' tall, making ‘Trinette’ an outstanding floor plant. Please note: The plant contains compounds that can be toxic to children, dogs, and cats. Shipped in a 10" nursery pot.

Many species formerly classified in the genus Schefflera, including the popular Umbrella Plant, have been reassigned to the genus Heptapleurum, although the former name remains widely used. Native to moist and humid regions of Asia, these mostly shrubby, evergreen, flowering perennials rarely produce flowers when cultivated indoors as houseplants. Members of the Aralia family, which also includes Ivy and Ginseng, Heptapleurum plants are toxic to both humans and pets if ingested.
