Schefflera actinophylla 6”—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Schefflera actinophylla 6”, affectionately known as the “Octopus Plant.” With lush, umbrella-like clusters of glossy green leaves, it’s giving rainforest royalty with a wild streak. Each leaf radiates like a sunburst—making this beauty a natural focal point for your home jungle or office corner.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Bright, indirect light is the sweet spot. It’ll tolerate medium light but thrives when it can sunbathe (gently).

• Water: Let the top inch or two of soil dry out between waterings—this one likes consistency, not wet feet.

• Humidity: Appreciates a touch of humidity, but doesn’t throw tantrums without it. Average home levels are fine, especially in spring and summer.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Glossy, upright leaves with steady new growth? It’s thriving and reaching for the sun.

• Needs TLC: Droopy or leaf drop? Likely a lighting or watering issue—check for overwatering or not enough light.

Good News for Pet Parents:

⚠️ Not pet-safe. This one’s best kept out of reach of curious paws and whiskers—mildly toxic if ingested.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 6” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s height or span.

• Your Schefflera actinophylla will arrive in its nursery pot—styled ceramics in photos are just here for outfit inspo.

• Each plant is photographed in-house at 3B’s, but Mother Nature makes no duplicates—leaf shape, spread, and growth quirks may vary.

Symbolism with Style:

Known for its radiating leaf pattern and steady upward growth, the Schefflera symbolizes energy, connection, and clarity—a wonderful gift for creatives, new beginnings, or anyone looking to expand into bold, fresh chapters.
