The Australian Umbrella Tree is native to tropical rainforests and gallery forests in northern and north-eastern Queensland coasts and the Northern Territory of Australia, as well as New Guinea and Java.
One really amazing thing about this plant is that it can start off growing on top of other plants in the wild and eventually overtake them. It's very hardy and a great house plant because it's such an aggressive plant.
Light: Medium but bright light, this plant is one of the better large plants for lower light environments as they are more tolerant than a lot of similarly impressive houseplants.
Water: Water every 10 days in the winter and weekly in the spring-summer. Best to underwater the plant. rather than overwater it.
Humidity: This plant loves a humid environment, it will tolerate a bit less humidity that other plants that usually have this requirement.

How to care for your
Schefflera actinophylla
About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 1-2 weeks
Let the soil dry out 50-70% between watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 1-2 weeks.
Sun: shaded light
This plant needs at least a few hours of direct sun every day. Perfect for a space that faces a south-facing window or directly in your east and west-facing windows. Anything less, and you should consider getting a grow light. It can be placed outside in the summer, where it gets at least a few hours of direct sun a day.
Humidity: low
This plant doesn't care about how humid it is. It will work perfectly fine near that vent you want to cover up.
