{"product_id":"schefflera-amate","title":"Schefflera Amate","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLarge glossy, palmately divided leaves — Schefflera Amate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a selected commercial cultivar prized for its bold, palmately arranged leaves that open like an umbrella. Each leaf typically has about five long, elliptic leaflets with a glossy, hairless upper surface, long petioles and clear radiating veins that create a circular, hand‑like silhouette. The overall effect is a strong, tropical architectural canopy rather than a fine-textured houseplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an indoor specimen it develops as an upright, tree-like form rather than a trailer or climber. Leaf size, internode length and overall compactness respond to pot size and light: larger pots and brighter conditions usually produce bigger leaflets and a looser habit. You will rarely see the dark-red flowers that occur in the wild on indoor specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn real homes the Amate behaves as a vigorous, space‑needing tree: it grows steadily, benefits from bright indirect light and moderate moisture, and will demand occasional pest checks for spider mites, mealybug or scale. One honest trade-off is that it is not pet-safe — it contains calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic to cats and dogs — and it can show leaf-tip browning if humidity or feeding is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest for rooms with height and a clear corner, the cultivar fits living rooms, halls or office spaces where a larger indoor tree is wanted. Supplied as a larger specimen in trade, bigger pots give immediate presence, while smaller nursery sizes would be easier to move and shape over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"XXL - P24 H100","offer_id":49196699582732,"sku":"MM-AMM3","price":52.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/shefela.jpg?v=1737406031","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/schefflera-amate","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
