About this Hawaiian Umbrella Bonsai, On a Rock Slab, 8 Years Old (Arboricola schefflera 'Luseanne')

An 8-year-old Arboricola schefflera 'Luseanne' presented on a rock slab, 9 to 11 inches in height. This is the species we point toward first for anyone who has never kept a bonsai or who doubts their luck with plants: among indoor subjects it asks about as little as any, and it stays handsome as an evergreen through the whole year. That reliability also makes it a sound choice as a gift when the recipient's taste is a mystery. It settles equally into a home, an office or a dorm.

Dwarf Umbrella Tree (Dwarf Schefflera) bonsai care

This is a living Dwarf Umbrella Tree (Dwarf Schefflera) (Heptapleurum arboricola). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor
Indoor: can stay inside all year; Bonsai Mirai also grows it indoors; NC State moves it to a sheltered spot outside while temperatures stay above 60°F (16°C)
Light
Sources differ: bright indirect light; full morning sun with less afternoon sun; indoors, filtered light, since bright direct sun can burn the leaves; it tolerates dim light but grows better with more
Water
Sources differ: keep the soil evenly moist and never let it dry out; or let the top 1/2 to 1 in (1.3 to 2.5 cm) dry first; never let it stand in water
USDA zones
12 to 13 in a pot: zone 13's winter lows of 60 to 70°F (16 to 21°C) clear the 50°F (10°C) floor of Bonsai Empire, Clemson and the RHS, and zone 12's lows of 50 to 60°F (10 to 16°C) meet it, so bring it in on colder nights there. Bonsai Mirai's floor is lower, 40°F (4°C). In the ground NC State gives 9b to 12b and BCI zone 9b
Main risks
Main risks, not ranked by any source: overwatering and root rot, cold, low light, dry air
