Schefflera Gerda 13/50

Schefflera Gerda. This plant is very much appreciated by flower growers for its beautiful, spectacular leaves, which are very similar to a human palm, the fingers of which are spaced far apart. The leaf blades are located on a tall petiole and are dissected into 4-12 lobes that grow from a single point. In some countries, this flower is called the gnome umbrella or umbrella tree. The elongated racemose inflorescences of this plant are very similar to tentacles or antennas. However, you can only see them in a botanical garden, and this is because shefflera does not bloom indoors. But it can decorate any room thanks to its graceful shape and spectacular foliage.
