Schefflera Amate - Height 220 cm - Pot size 48cm

The Schefflera Amate, also known as the Finger Tree, is an impressive green houseplant with large, glossy leaves that split into multiple segments, similar to fingers. This unique feature gives the plant its Dutch nickname.

This houseplant is originally from America, where it grows in a warm and humid climate. The Schefflera Amate is known for its air-purifying properties, which not only makes it decorative but also contributes to a healthier indoor climate.

Caring for this houseplant is quite simple, which makes it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant lovers. It prefers a spot with indirect sunlight and only requires average watering, with the soil kept slightly moist.

In its natural habitat, the Schefflera Amate can grow quite large, but indoors it remains manageable, which makes it perfect for indoor decoration without the worries of an overwhelmingly large plant.

Caution! – The sap of the Amate can be slightly irritating when touched. It is therefore important to wear gloves when pruning or repotting this houseplant.

Light requirements – This houseplant prefers a spot with indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can damage the leaves, while too little light can hinder growth.

Watering – Make sure the soil of the Schefflera Amate remains slightly moist, but let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Repotting – It is advisable to repot this houseplant every two to three years or when you notice that it is getting too big for its pot. When repotting, use a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and provide fresh potting soil. For good drainage, you can place a layer of hydro grains on the bottom of the pot.
