Schefflera 'Nora' (Pot Size 13cm) Dwarf Umbrella Plant 'Nora' sold by Boma Garden Centre

Schefflera arboricola ‘Melanie’, commonly known as the Dwarf Umbrella Plant ‘Melanie’, is a beautifully compact indoor foliage plant admired for its neat umbrella-shaped leaf clusters and rich, glossy green colour. Smaller and more refined than the standard Schefflera, ‘Melanie’ is an excellent choice for modern interiors where a tidy, architectural look is preferred.Its naturally bushy form creates an elegant silhouette that suits shelves, side tables, plant stands and bright office spaces. The foliage is evergreen, maintaining year-round vibrancy and bringing a sense of calm and freshness to any room. Like many Schefflera, it has air-purifying qualities, helping to remove indoor pollutants and improve ambient air quality—making it both decorative and functional. ‘Melanie’ can reach around 60–100 cm in height over several years, with a moderate spread, and can be shaped with occasional light pruning. Complementary pairing plants include Zamioculcas (ZZ Plant), Dracaena, Monstera deliciosa, or Ficus elastica, all of which echo the clean, sculptural aesthetic.This is an ideal choice for plant lovers seeking a well-behaved, evergreen, low-effort indoor plant that adapts well to contemporary living environments.
