ARBORICOLA

Shefflera Arboricola is a tropical plant native to Taiwan. Often found outside in the tropical Southeastern US, this plant can tolerate full sun and loves a good shower.

Our arboricola has been grown by a South Florida company that has been in service of the ornamental houseplant industry since 1961.  Known for their customer service and excellent selection, the company strives to exceed expectations and over-deliver on their promises. We imbue these same values into our hard work and pass this commitment and positivity on to you! 

• Recommend transplanting within 1-2 years into a vessel 1-2 inches larger using regular potting mix.
• Clean leaves with damp paper towel every 1-2 weeks to aid photosynthesis and stimulate growth. Check leaves and stalks for pests while cleaning. For more information on the importance of cleaning leaves, read our guide here.
• If pests are found, remove with damp paper towel and use a mild organic pesticide in a spray bottle to coat the affected areas. More information on common pest problems can be found here.
• Toxic to pets, contact veterinarian immediately if any part of plant is ingested.
• Water thoroughly once every 5-7 days, however avoid overwatering. You can read some fundamental rules of watering here. 
• High indirect to direct light, avoid windows as they amplify the sun's intensity and create heat that may damage plant. You can find our plant placement guidelines here. 

For an overview on how we ship plants to you, see our guide here. All items are shipped from Florida on Mondays or Tuesdays to allow for maximum continuous transit time while avoiding time spent sitting in warehouses, trucks, or other distribution points over the weekend. Depending on your location and the weather conditions across the country, we may be forced to hold on shipping until conditions improve as we have had items freeze while sitting in Chicago for four days and get delayed due to heavy holiday volume (Mother's Day, Christmas, etc.).  We will make every attempt to ship your item promptly on the very next Monday or Tuesday given that there are no anomalies in shipping conditions.

Items received in a damaged condition will be refunded immediately as we investigate the cause of the issue with the shipper.  Returns will not be accepted, please dispose of any unusable items after they have been refunded.
