Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Gold Capella Umbrella Plant (Schefflera arboricola 'Gold Capella') is a choir of color to delight you indoors and out! Also known as the Schefflera, these tropical evergreen trees can reach great heights in their native habitats around China, but this vivid creamy gold and green cultivar will keep to a neat and tidy 3-5 feet in height and smaller width.
These bushy, compact plants feature longer stems with umbrella-shaped whorls of leaves for a pinwheel effect, enhanced by the randomized green, creamy yellow to pale gold variegation on each! Featuring a dense yet bright clump of tropical broadleaf evergreen foliage. These gorgeous houseplants are super easy to care for, dwarf-sized and will never overtake a planter or interiorscape.
Grown as a fantastic single stem tree form or excellent shrub form plant, Gold Capella is among the other great air-purifying plants and forgives you if you forget a watering here and there. Train as a bonsai tree or use as a hedge in its favored outdoor USDA hardiness zones of 10-11! Outdoors these tropicals can produce reddish blooms!
Planting and Application:
Indoors, these are classic houseplants and Capella adds the brilliance with its lovely variegation! This smaller-leaved dwarf form has a finer textured appearance when compared to regular Schefflera, but with all the ease of care and beauty as the rest of the family. Pot up in a lovely container in your bedroom and living room to enjoy color and air purification, or on a sunroom, porch and patio as an accent to your seating areas!
Umbrella Plants in hot growing zones are fantastic shady accents and even low hedges! Accent your home front or back landscaping with these bushy focal points, foundation plantings and poolside decorations! Pot up in planters around your patio and on the covered back deck or add a touch of privacy to your balcony! These dwarf shrubs won't take up much space but have high-impact color!
- Variegated Rich Green & Creamy Golden Yellow Foliage
- Forgiving Tropical Broadleaf Evergreen
- Easy Care Container & Houseplant
- Red Blooms On Outdoor Plants
- Outdoor Hedges, Color, Accents & Planters
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Provide part shade outdoors or bright filtered/indirect light indoors for the most color. Tropical evergreen plants do not like very dry conditions or frost, so avoid drafts indoors and protect outdoor plants from frost. Prune off any sickly or poor growth, and pinch back any leggy growth to encourage bushiness and branching. Plant in a well-drained enriched environment with regular fertility and consistent moisture.
- Bright Indirect Light
- Moderate Consistent Moisture
- Regular Fertility & Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Prune or Pinch Back Damaged, Sickly or Leggy Growth
- Rarely Bothered By Deer
Compact and glowing, the Gold Capella Umbrella Plant will enliven dreary sites indoors and out with its variegated melody and ease of care! Hurry and order your tropical greenery accents at NatureHills.com!
