Description

Schefflera arboricola 'Madame De Smet' is an attractive, compact, and variegated variety of the Dwarf Umbrella Tree. Known for its glossy, palmate leaves that are green with creamy-white margins, this plant adds a tropical touch to indoor and outdoor spaces. Its elegant foliage makes it a popular choice for homes and offices.

Flowers

Indoors, Schefflera arboricola 'Madame De Smet' rarely flowers. When it does bloom, it produces small, inconspicuous clusters of greenish-yellow flowers. Outdoors, it might flower more frequently under optimal conditions.

Foliage

The plant’s primary feature is its glossy, palmate leaves, which are divided into 7-9 leaflets. The leaves are dark green with creamy-white variegation along the margins, creating a striking contrast and a visually appealing pattern.

Fruit

If flowering occurs, it may produce small, round, orange or red berries. However, fruiting is uncommon indoors.

Form and Size

Schefflera 'Madame De Smet' has a compact and bushy growth habit, typically reaching a height of 1-1.5 meters (3-5 feet) indoors. When grown outdoors in ideal conditions, it can grow taller. Its upright growth makes it suitable for floor pots and as a tall accent plant.

Growing Conditions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Variegation is more pronounced with higher light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help maintain humidity levels.
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Uses

Schefflera 'Madame De Smet' is perfect for:

  • Indoor decoration in homes and offices
  • Adding a touch of elegance and greenery to interior spaces
  • Container gardening on patios and balconies in warmer climates

Maintenance

  • Pruning: Prune to maintain the desired shape and remove any leggy or damaged growth. Pruning encourages bushier growth.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth. Use a well-draining potting mix.
  • Pests: Be vigilant for common indoor pests such as spider mites, aphids, and scale. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Notes

Schefflera arboricola 'Madame De Smet' is known for its air-purifying properties, making it a beneficial addition to indoor environments. It is generally non-toxic to pets and humans but should still be kept out of reach of curious pets and children.

Companion Plants

  • Dracaena
  • Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
  • Pothos
  • Philodendron

These plants share similar care requirements and can complement the Schefflera 'Madame De Smet' in creating a lush, attractive indoor garden.

Not premium quality! I've seen actual authentic ones before.
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Despite all the positive reviews, I believe this product is subpar. There are genuine sheep skin Hydes but this product is NOT it. There is no leather embossing showing authenticity, and many signs of strong chemical treatment. Smell is lingering and I've aired them for over two days. Not very comfortable since the fur is very thick and coarse, you would expect it to be softer for the price as well. Not premium quality. I ordered this for my children to sleep on at long evening Church services but now I will look to more niche sellers for a higher quality product.

Great product: thick and cozy
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Natural (Ivory Whiite)
This is a lovely, thick sheepskin. I’m using it to drape over a chair. It’s very soft. The color is a natural white. Arrived quickly. The price was great for such a wonderful sheepskin.

Love it!
Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Linen, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Linen
Exceeded all expectations. Bigger than I imagined it would be, super soft and thick, beautiful color (Linen), and no funky smell at all. It seems very durable. After running my hands all over it, no shedding occurred. I have yet to sit on it myself, though, as my cat claimed it right away - didn't even wait for me to remove the tag! He's been there for hours and I'm thinking I've lost my snuggle buddy, so I bought two more in the smaller size so he can have his own on the bed with me at night. I am so amazed by the quality, feel, and color. I can't believe I almost let other reviews deter me from this purchase. 100% thrilled with this beautiful pelt. Absolutely recommend! UPDATE: I received the other 2 purchased. Just as soft, just as thick, consistent color (Linen), no shedding, no smell. They have been in use for several days now without any issues. Love them all - and my snuggle buddy is back! 🥰

It’s wonderful!!
Size: 2' x 3' (Single Pelt), Color: Brown, Size: 2' x 3' (Single Pelt), Color: Brown
The product is wonderful! You know it is real, coz the smell doesn’t go away. I use it to meditate and cannot how nicely it created the perfect comforting barrier to help elevate my experience. I however want to find alternatives coz I stopped using animal products after turning a vegetarian. The size (it is bigger in person than in the pic) and color(brown) are perfect for what I do and doesn’t need much/any maintenance! The white however needs a lot of attention and care.I’m sure it would last a decade and the weight is just right too!
