Schefflera Moondrop 'Umbrella Plant'

Schefflera ‘Moondrop’ 🌙🌿 has glossy green leaves brushed with creamy white variegation, giving it a bright, polished look that feels a little more special than a standard green schefflera. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays strongest and it can add height to desks, plant stands, or brighter corners of the home. This is a generally easy plant that does well with steady care, but it does not love sitting in soggy soil or very dim spots. Pro tip: if the growth starts looking thin or stretched, move it closer to brighter light before changing anything else 💡.
