🌿 Schefflera ‘Amate’
(Umbrella Plant)
Full. Glossy. Effortlessly tropical.
Schefflera ‘Amate’ is known for its large, hand-shaped leaf clusters that radiate outward like an open umbrella. The foliage is deep green, thick, and beautifully glossy, giving it a healthy, vibrant presence year-round.
It fills space quickly and adds instant volume to a room.
At House of Ivy, this is one of our go-to plants for bringing life into larger corners and open spaces without feeling heavy.
