Description

The Schefflera Amate brings gentle elegance and natural beauty to your home with her graceful umbrella-shaped leaves and forgiving nature. The Schefflera plant has been quietly winning hearts for years, creating peaceful green spaces that feel like a warm embrace.

Also known as the Umbrella Tree, with glossy leaflets that fan out like nature's own parasol, it adds a touch of tropical calm to any room while working quietly to purify your air. It’ll steadily reach 8-10 feet indoors, giving you time to enjoy each stage of her journey without overwhelming your space. Her forgiving spirit makes Schefflera plant care wonderfully manageable, even if you're still finding your rhythm with plant parenthood. 


Care 

How do you care for a Schefflera Amate?

Your Schefflera Amate thrives with gentle, consistent care that feels natural once you get the hang of it. Bright indirect light keeps her happy, water when soil feels dry halfway down, and monthly feeding during the growing season.

We've found that Schefflera care works best when you develop a gentle routine with your plant. She appreciates attention but doesn't demand constant fussing, making her a wonderful companion for both new and experienced plant lovers.


Is Schefflera Amate an indoor plant? 

The Schefflera Amate has adapted beautifully to indoor life, growing into a stately presence that feels perfectly at home in your living space. She reaches a comfortable 8-10 feet tall indoors, creating vertical interest without overwhelming smaller rooms.

This variety has become so well-suited to indoor growing that many people forget she originally came from warmer climates. She's truly made herself at home with us.


How often should I water a Schefflera Amate?

Water your Schefflera Amate every 7-14 days, letting the top 30-50% of soil dry completely between waterings for healthy root development and growth. Trust your finger more than any calendar when checking proper soil moisture levels throughout the pot.

During warmer months, she'll be a bit thirstier as she puts energy into new growth. In winter, she naturally slows down and needs less frequent watering.


Does a Schefflera Amate like to be misted? 

Your Schefflera Amate appreciates occasional misting, especially during dry winter months when indoor heating systems can make the air quite harsh and uncomfortable. Think of it as a gentle spa treatment that helps her feel much more comfortable and happy.

While she tolerates average home humidity well, a light mist every so often helps prevent dry leaf edges and keeps spider mites at bay. It's one of those small kindnesses that makes a real difference.


Do Schefflera Amate plants like coffee grounds? 

Skip the coffee grounds for your Schefflera Amate, as they can hold too much moisture and create potential drainage issues that harm roots. Instead, stick with quality balanced fertilizer during spring and summer for the very best growing results.

Coffee grounds work better in outdoor compost than directly in houseplant soil. Your plant will be much happier with proper fertilizer designed for indoor plants.


Where should a Schefflera Amate be placed indoors? 

Place your Schefflera Amate near a north or east-facing window where she'll receive plenty of bright, filtered light without harsh direct sun exposure. A few feet back from south or west windows works absolutely beautifully too for optimal plant health.

Remember to rotate her occasionally so all sides get equal light exposure. This helps her grow evenly and prevents her from leaning too much toward the light source.


What is the best plant food for a Schefflera Amate? 

A balanced, all-purpose houseplant fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer gives your Schefflera Amate exactly what she needs for steady, healthy growth and development. Nothing fancy required, just consistent nutrition during her most active growing period each year.

Come winter, you can skip fertilizing entirely as she naturally rests during cooler months. It's pretty cool how plants know exactly when to slow down and conserve energy.


Do Schefflera Amate’s like sun or shade? 

Schefflera Amate prefers bright, indirect light that mimics the dappled sunlight she'd receive under taller trees in her natural habitat environment. She can adapt to medium light conditions but grows most beautifully with consistent brightness throughout the day.

Direct sunlight can actually burn her leaves, so add a sheer curtain to filter the light. Or, just position her away from intense windows to keep her comfortable and thriving.


Is Schefflera Amate good for a bedroom? 

The Schefflera Amate makes a lovely bedroom companion, quietly purifying your air while you sleep and tolerating the lower light levels bedrooms often have. Just make sure curious pets and children can't reach her delicate leaves or stems.

Her gentle presence adds a calming, natural element to bedrooms without being overwhelming. Many of our customers love having her peaceful energy in their most restful spaces.



Pet-friendly?

Your Schefflera Amate contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause discomfort for pets who nibble on her leaves, so she's best kept in spots where curious paws and noses can't reach her.


How toxic is Schefflera Amate to cats? 

The Schefflera Amate can cause oral irritation, drooling, and upset stomach if your cat takes a taste of her leaves. You’ll need to keep her in a room your feline friend doesn't frequent.

While not life-threatening, the calcium oxalate crystals can cause real discomfort. Prevention is always the kindest approach for both your pet and your plant.


Are Schefflera Amates toxic to dogs? 

Dogs who chew on Schefflera Amate may experience mouth pain, drooling, and digestive upset from the plant’s calcium oxalate crystals. Most dogs learn to leave plants alone, but it's wise to position plants where they won't tempt curious canine investigations.


Factoids

Is Schefflera Amate an air purifying plant?

Your Schefflera Amate works quietly around the clock, removing harmful chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene from your indoor air while adding natural beauty to your space. Think of her as a beautiful, living air filter that never needs replacing.


Where did Schefflera Amate get its name? 

The Schefflera genus is named after 18th-century German botanist Johann Peter Ernst von Scheffler, while the 'Amate' part of the name celebrates California nurseryman Archie Amate who selected and shared this particular variety with plant lovers everywhere.


Is there a cultural significance to Schefflera Amate? 

While the broader Schefflera family has come to be associated with protection and vitality, the 'Amate' variety is primarily treasured for bringing natural beauty and clean air into our daily lives. A pretty good reason to welcome one home.

you will start wondering if this is real of sc-fi
Format: Paperback
Great book to read and see what potentially could be there. Its raw description of races without any bigger context, but this is what almanac is. Its not a story book. It gives glimpse of possibilities and and insight into political structure in the universe, what is good, what is bad - but that's just a glimpse without going deep in it leaving reader with impression: "OK, i want more!" and "ok, were to get more details on governance and technology, metaphysics, religion"? It's well organized. One thing that will come after reading is question: Is it really something real that is hidden in government secrets or its new branch of SC-FI?

Human-being ET celebration!
Format: Paperback
What made this book so fascinating and essential to my collection is the amount of Human Being looking humanoid off worlders who have visited our planet…it is so fascinating. Most of the time you hear, simply about the Pleiadians when the word Nordic is brought up. This goes so much further into the diversity of systems out there that human beings exist within. Highly recommended.

An Amazingly Wise Book
Format: Paperback
Trauma, in fact, intergenerational trauma that has not been metabolized, is a recipe for racism. As a psychotherapist with over 50 years addressing trauma and the need for decolonization therapies that go far beyond what is customarily taught in universities, My Grandmother's Hands is the clearest guide I have come across to help suffering individuals "grow up" as Resma Menakem respectfully says. This is a profound, wise, brilliant, compassionate, and exceptionally insightful effort to confront our body's pain as well as that of our families, communities, and our American culture. When we grow as individuals we will also grow as communities -- what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as "the beloved community."

A must read for therapists and everyone else
Format: Paperback
As a psychologist who works primarily with individuals in marginalized communities, I see a lot of clients who have experienced historical, intergenerational, developmental and ongoing current trauma, often as a result of systems of oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.). I was very excited to dive into training in somatic experiencing (SE), a "bottom up" approach to trauma treatment that recognizes the ways that traumatic experiences get stored in the body, and therefore need to be healed through the body. However, I was disappointed to find that most of the books on SE, as well as the trainings themselves, rarely if ever mention racism or other systems of oppression and the trauma they cause. This was such a disappointment to me, especially given that racial trauma is so prevalent in the everyday lives of my clients and perpetuated daily by the current political climate. Therefore I was thrilled to discover this book. Resmaa Menakem filled in the gap I was feeling in the SE literature, applying somatic experiencing to racial trauma and the ways that racism impacts the bodies of white people, black people (and all people of color), and those who are charged with "serving and protecting" us, the police. This book was a huge eye opener for me. Not only did it give me compassion for my own white body and the ways that trauma has been metabolized and passed on from white folks to POC through the mechanisms of white supremacy, but it gave me new and more embodied ways to understand the lives of people of color and work effectively with my POC clients. It also gave me new compassion for cops, who, through their own trauma responses and the effects of white supremacy, are now more like soldiers whose mission is to control and suppress black and brown bodies. Although I will continue to feel outrage and grief at every unnecessary police killing of an innocent man or woman of color, this book helped me to remember that we are all impacted by centuries of white supremacy conditioning and that cops need and deserve healing around racial trauma too. I highly recommend this book to therapists and healers, especially those who work with individuals in marginalized communities. Each chapter provides exercises to embody the learning in the chapter, so that healing is happening not just from the top down, but from the bottom up. There are exercises for individuals and groups, for white bodies, POC bodies and police bodies. The book is extremely timely and relevant and should be required reading for anyone wanting to understand more about the history and current conditions of racism in America, its impacts, and how to heal.

Think of racism as a moral failing isn’t helpful. Instead, think of it as a trauma response.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
If we are willing to stop and listen to the voices of these people, both in the streets and in their writings (for generations now), we will hear them tell us their experience. And their experience is horrific. Some of us will turn away, finding solace in justifications (“He should have complied!”) or distancing (“My family was poor too. None of my family owned slaves.”) But if we care about a sustainable future for our country, if we have the smallest shred of a sense of responsibility for our neighbor, or if (like me) we claim to follow Jesus, the one who taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to put other people’s lives before our own, then we must listen. In My Grandmother’s Hands, Resmaa Menakem comes to this conversation from a different and very helpful angle. He suggests that three groups are clashing in our country today: black-bodied people, white-bodied people and police. He suggests that the animus, reactivity, and often explosive violence between these groups is in fact the result of unprocessed trauma. He digs deep into the story of each of these groups to demonstrate the primary and secondary trauma each group carries. Then he talks about the process of trauma retention and how, if we fail to understand and process our trauma, we inevitably become less flexible, more reactive, and more violent. He suggests that the solution to our problem is not solely in education, awareness or even new policies, but in becoming more aware of our bodies, learning how to handle and process trauma, and becoming more resilient in our interactions with other traumatized people. This is the first book about racial injustice that I’ve read where I finished feeling like I could actually make a difference. I’m not a policy maker. I’m not able to be a regular front-line activist. I don’t have piles of money to spend at Black-owned businesses. It’s easy to feel like my small contribution can’t possibly make a real difference. But Menakem suggests a path that any one of us can walk--coming to terms with our own experience of racialized trauma -- and this will open up the path for other ways we can be a part of creating a more just, compassionate, and equal society.
