The schefflera is one of India's most loved indoor plants. With its glossy, umbrella-shaped leaves, it brings a fresh, tropical feel to any room. We carry both the classic schefflera green and the eye-catching variegated schefflera — two top picks for homes and offices. Both are available at the lowest price, right here at Vedicflora.

Why Schefflera Is a Best Seller

Over 5,000 plant lovers search for schefflera every month across India. It checks every box — easy to grow, low maintenance, and a natural air purifier. It thrives in indirect light and needs watering just once or twice a week. Whether you live in a flat in Mumbai or a house in Jaipur, schefflera fits right in.

NASA's Clean Air Study lists schefflera as a plant that helps remove indoor toxins like benzene and formaldehyde. This makes it a smart pick for bedrooms, living rooms, and work-from-home corners. Many of our customers keep it near the front door as a lucky plant, following Vastu guidelines. It's a best seller for good reason.

Green or Variegated — Which One Is Right for You?

Both types are beautiful, but they suit different spaces. Here's a quick guide to help you choose:

  • Schefflera Green — Deep, uniform green leaves that do well in low-light corners. Great for offices and shaded balconies.
  • Variegated Schefflera — Cream and green patterned leaves that brighten well-lit spots. Perfect for sunny windowsills and living rooms.

Both plants grow well in regular potting mix and need very little attention. They can reach 1 to 2 metres indoors over time, making them a lasting addition to your home. Pick the one that matches your space — or get both for a lush, layered indoor garden look.

Simple Care Tips for a Thriving Schefflera

  • Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the leaves.
  • Water when the top inch of soil feels dry — usually once or twice a week.
  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth monthly to keep them glossy and dust-free.
  • Feed with a liquid fertiliser once a month during spring and summer.
  • Repot every 2 years or when roots start showing through the drainage holes.

Frequently asked questions

Is schefflera easy to grow for beginners?

Yes, schefflera is one of the best plants for beginners. It tolerates low light, irregular watering, and most indoor conditions found in Indian homes. Just give it bright indirect light and water it when the soil feels dry. It is forgiving and bounces back quickly if you miss a watering.

What is the difference between schefflera green and variegated schefflera?

Schefflera green has deep, uniform green leaves and handles lower light conditions better. Variegated schefflera has a lovely mix of cream and green on each leaf, but needs a bit more light to keep its colours vibrant. Both are low-maintenance and air-purifying. Choose green for shaded spots and variegated for brighter areas near a window.

Is schefflera a lucky plant according to Vastu?

Yes, schefflera is considered a lucky plant in Vastu and is believed to attract positive energy into the home. Many people place it near the entrance or in the living room for good luck and abundance. Its lush, spreading leaves are said to represent growth and prosperity. It is also a popular choice as a housewarming or gifting plant.

Can I keep schefflera on my balcony?

Yes, schefflera grows well on a balcony with bright but indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. In Indian summers, move it to a shadier spot and water it a little more often. It makes a beautiful, low-maintenance balcony plant all year round.

Is schefflera safe for pets and children?

Schefflera is mildly toxic if eaten, so it is best kept out of reach of pets and small children. If a pet chews on the leaves, it may cause mild irritation or an upset stomach. Place it on a high shelf or in a room less accessible to curious little ones. As a precaution, always wash your hands after handling the plant.
