'Boba' the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, Schefflera arboricola 'variegata'

Native to Southeast Asia, my leaves are a glossy green and fan out like tiny umbrellas. In Feng Shui, I am used to capture positive energy and protect the home. I make a great apartment friend because I'm tolerant of many conditions, including some shady north facing windows and corners. Note: I'm am not a pet friendly plant.

Symbolism: protection, ability to thrive even in the shadows
