#ProPlantTips for Care:
Provide Umbrella plants a part shade outdoor environment or bright filtered/indirect light indoors for the most color. Plant in a well-drained enriched environment with regular fertility and consistent moisture. 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.
