Madame de Smet 

Schefflera arboricola

A hardy, slow-growing, native shrub with attractive variegated foliage. The leaves are a shiny texture, ideal for adding colour contrast into a design. The plant’s foliage gives the appearance of an umbrella. Schefflera Madame de Smet is best grown indoors, where it is protected from cold weather. Alternatively, it can be grown on a verandah or outdoor in a very protected spot. Schefflera Madame de Smet has moderate water requirements. Allow the plant to dry out between watering during cold weather and keep moist, but not soaked, in the warmer months.
