House Plants - NAME OF HOUSE PLANT WRONG

Expert: Darlene K. Kittle - 8/30/2004

Question
I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF HOUSEPLANT I HAVE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CALLED SOMETHING LIKE BORACOLA SHEFRILLA. I WAS WONDERING IF THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR YOU TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE REAL NAME...

Answer
Jennifer,

Your plant is an schefflera arboricola. For care info check out these websites:

They like lots of light and like to dry out well between waterings. Good luck.

Darlene
