Dwarf umbrella tree

is a popular tropical houseplant known for its glossy, umbrella-like leaves that radiate from a central stem. It's compact, easy to care for, and a great choice for beginners.

Care Tips for Dwarf Umbrella Tree:

*1. Light

Prefers bright, indirect light.Can tolerate lower light but will grow slower and may become leggy.Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

*2. Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.Likes slightly moist soil, but avoid overwatering—root rot is a common issue.Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

*3. Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity.Mist the plant occasionally or place it near a humidifier if your indoor air is dry.

*4. Temperature

Thrives between 60–75°F (16–24°C).Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

*5. Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for houseplants or tropical plants.

*6. Fertilizer

Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.No need to fertilize in winter.

*7. Pruning

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.You can pinch back new growth or trim longer branches.

*8. Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound.Spring is the best time to repot.

*Bonus Tip:

If your Dwarf Umbrella Tree gets leggy (long stems with fewer leaves), it's usually due to low light—try moving it to a brighter spot.
