This umbrella plant has large glossy green leaves. As a natural air freshener and detoxifier, they make a health conscious addition to the home.
As 'Compacta' is a cultivar with less variegated leaves it can handle lower light levels.
These are tough plants and are drought tolerant, so will suffer most from overwatering.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
