Jade Fortune Tree (Schefflera arboricola)

The Jade Fortune Tree, commonly known as the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, features glossy, oval leaves arranged in circular clusters that radiate outward like spokes on a wheel—typically with eight leaflets per stem, symbolizing wealth flowing from all directions in feng shui tradition. Native to Taiwan and Hainan, this resilient evergreen thrives in bright indirect light but adapts gracefully to lower light conditions. 

Water when the top inch of soil dries out, and prune regularly to maintain its lush, bushy shape. Beyond its auspicious symbolism, it's a powerhouse air purifier, filtering formaldehyde, benzene, and other toxins while adding vibrant tropical energy to any space.
