Description
The Golden Australian Umbrella Tree (Heptapleurum actinophyllum, syn. Schefflera actinophylla) ‘Soleil’ is a stunning evergreen featuring lush, glossy leaves with golden highlights that brighten indoor spaces or shaded garden areas. Its radiating leaflets create an attractive umbrella-like canopy, perfect for creating a tropical aesthetic. This variety is well-suited for pots, garden beds, or as a striking indoor feature plant.
Plant in well-draining soil and position in part shade for the best growth and foliage colour. Once established, this plant is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during hot weather. Prune as needed to maintain its shape and wipe leaves to preserve their vibrant appearance. While it rarely flowers indoors, mature outdoor specimens may produce bright red blooms for added ornamental value.
