Title: Heptapleurum plant for the bathroom
Post by: msmobyone on April 13, 2015, 05:18:55 AM

I have a bathroom plant that is over 30 years old

(http://www.coolgarden.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/heptapleurum01.jpg)

It's a Heptapleurum and needs v little attention in the bathroom.

I want to buy one in Russia.. any one got an idea of what they might call it, please.

I noticed someone was trying to post to this thread.

If you didn't find the plant in Russia, it is шефлера.

Google was used to find the video above.

Schefflera arboricola appears to be the more used appellation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schefflera_arboricola

Quote

Its common name is dwarf umbrella tree. It is commonly grown as a houseplant, popular for its tolerance of neglect and poor growing conditions.

It appears to be dangerous to household pets:

due to the species containing "sharp" calcium oxalate crystals that are insoluble and damage the cells and tissues of the animals ingesting them. Depending on the amount that a pet consumes the resulting damage (swelling) of exposed tissues and digestive tract may be fatal to the animal.
