Schefflera ‘Gold Capella’ – Variegated umbrella tree, bright & sophisticated
✨ Golden variegation • 🌬️ Air-purifying • 💧 Easy care • 🏙️ Urban jungle • 🌿 Elegant form
The Schefflera ‘Gold Capella’, also called the variegated umbrella tree, is a stunning tropical plant with deep green foliage mixed with golden yellow. Its palmate leaves unfold gracefully, capturing light to brighten your interior with a natural and refined glow.
Elegant, sturdy, and air-purifying, this Arboricola variety perfectly suits urban living. It structures modern spaces while spreading a feeling of tropical freshness and plant serenity.
Exposure & placement
The Schefflera ‘Gold Capella’ likes bright light without direct sun. Its golden variegation is especially vibrant in bright spaces, while also tolerating partial shade well. Suitable for modern interiors, it thrives in a living room, office, or entryway.
- Bright indirect light, tolerates partial shade.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can dull the leaves.
- Ideal for rooms facing east or north.
- Temperature: between 18 and 25 °C.
- Protect it from cold drafts.
Verdeia Tip: rotate it weekly for even growth and uniform variegation.
Watering & care
Easy to care for, the Schefflera ‘Gold Capella’ appreciates moderate and regular watering. Its shiny foliage stays dense and colorful if the plant enjoys balanced humidity and good drainage.
- Water when the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch.
- Avoid stagnant water at the bottom of the pot.
- In winter, space out watering to every two weeks.
- Gently wipe the leaves to preserve their shine.
- Add some green plant fertilizer every 2 months in spring and summer.
Verdeia Tip: too much water dulls the variegation — it's better to slightly under-water than to water too often.
Verdeia Tips
The Gold Capella combines aesthetics and ease. It adapts to most indoor environments and quickly becomes a key element of your decor. For harmonious growth, make sure to provide consistent light and well-drained soil.
- Repot it every 2 years in a light, well-draining mix.
- Mist its foliage to maintain a humid atmosphere.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Lightly prune the stems in spring to encourage density.
- Place it near other tropical plants to create a balanced jungle atmosphere.
Decor ideas & pairings

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
