Gold Capella Umbrella Tree

Gold Capella is a named form of Heptapleurum arboricola in the Araliaceae family. [1][3]

The familiar name Schefflera arboricola refers to the same species. [2]

Glossy green leaflets form palmate fans edged with light yellow. [3]

Place Gold Capella in bright filtered or indirect sunlight. [3]

Use a peat-free, loam-based potting compost with good drainage. [3]

Choose a pot with drainage holes, sized to the roots. Check fresh medium for added fertilizer before feeding. [9]

Keep the plant in steady room warmth, away from cold drafts and direct heater airflow. [11]

Dwarf umbrella trees prefer humid air. [4]

In a dry room, a maintained humidifier can raise humidity around houseplants. [12]

During active growth, apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer monthly, following the product directions. Pause routine feeding when growth rests. [7]

Pinch growing tips to encourage branching and a fuller canopy. [5]

As winter growth slows, reduce watering frequency while continuing to check the mix. [7]

Resume routine feeding as active growth returns. [7]

Gold Capella has glossy green palmate foliage edged in pale yellow. [3]

The green dwarf umbrella tree carries deep-green leaflet fans. [5]

Trinette is another named form of Heptapleurum arboricola, with its own care guide in this collection. [5]
