The Schefflera arboricola 'Gold Capella', also known as the variegated umbrella tree, is a stunning tropical plant native to tropical Asia. Its palmate leaves blend deep green and golden yellow in a very bright variegation — a warm and sophisticated palette that captures light and brightens interiors with a natural and refined presence.

Available in 3 sizes — from desk plant to large indoor tree — it is one of the most versatile Scheffleras in the catalog, among the easy-care plants for city dwellers that adapt to spaces of very different sizes.

Which Schefflera variety to choose?

The Schefflera genus offers several very distinct shapes and color palettes — here’s how to place the 'Gold Capella' among the catalog references:

  • Schefflera 'Gold Capella' (this plant) — variegated palmate foliage in green and golden yellow, upright and bushy habit, 3 sizes from 75 to 130 cm. The brightest and most colorful in the range.
  • Schefflera 'Compacta Nora' — umbrelled glossy green foliage, very compact and dense habit. The choice for a more compact, fully green silhouette.
  • Schefflera Charlotte — umbrelled deep solid green foliage, slender and balanced habit. The choice for a more upright and sober silhouette.
  • Schefflera 'Gerda' — dissected palmate foliage, compact 35 cm size. The choice for a very graphic and airy small format.
  • Schefflera actinophylla 'Amate' — very large glossy solid green leaves, XXL 100 cm size. The choice for a majestic statement plant with fully green foliage.

Light & placement

The Schefflera 'Gold Capella' needs bright light to fully reveal its golden variegation — this is its main requirement compared to other fully green Scheffleras. In partial shade, the golden yellow gradually fades to a more ordinary green, as detailed in our article on light-humidity balance indoors.

  • Light: bright indirect — near an east or north-facing window, sheltered from direct midday sun.
  • In partial shade: Gold Capella adapts but gradually loses its golden variegation — avoid if variegation is the reason for choosing it.
  • Avoid: cold drafts and sudden temperature changes that cause immediate leaf drop.
  • Temperature: 18 to 25 °C.

Rotate the plant a quarter turn every week — Schefflera naturally orients its umbels toward the light, and regular rotation ensures uniform golden variegation on all sides.

Watering & care

The Schefflera 'Gold Capella' prefers a slightly moist substrate without ever staying soggy — excess water dulls the golden variegation and causes leaf yellowing. Slight underwatering is always better than overwatering, as with all Schefflera and tropical houseplants.

  • Frequency: about once a week in spring and summer — water when the substrate surface feels dry to the touch.
  • In winter: space out to every two weeks.
  • Drainage: essential — never let water stagnate in the decorative pot.
  • Humidity: mist the foliage to maintain a tropical atmosphere and preserve the brightness of the golden variegation.
  • Fertilizer: a diluted green plant fertilizer every 2 months in spring and summer.

Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth once a month — dust dulls the golden variegation and reduces photosynthesis, which is especially important to maintain intense colors.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

The golden variegation of the Schefflera 'Gold Capella' makes it a naturally bright accent plant in any tropical arrangement — its warm highlights perfectly complement dark green foliage that enhances the golden contrast, in tropical color-contrast compositions.

  • For a very sophisticated variegated contrast play, pair Gold Capella with a Ficus elastica 'Tineke' — the warm green and gold variegation of the Schefflera contrasts with the cool green, white, and pink variegation of the Tineke for a very elegant duo of variegated plants in the same bright palette.
  • For a bright tropical duo, pair it with an Aglaonema Keylime — both plants share light green and bright yellow tones but with very different textures: the palmate foliage of the Schefflera and the large lance-shaped leaves of the Aglaonema create two very complementary volumes.
  • For a very architectural large-format tropical composition, place Gold Capella (130 cm size) in front of a Strelitzia nicolai — the golden palmate leaves of the Schefflera in the foreground and the upright dark green palms of the Strelitzia in the background create a very dramatic contrast of colors and heights.
  • In a natural terracotta or matte bronze ceramic decorative pot, the warm tones of the ceramic naturally respond to the golden highlights of the variegation — choose a matte ceramic decorative pot in warm shades for a composition entirely in a bright and warm register.

Verdeia tips

  • Place it in its final location upon arrival: the Schefflera 'Gold Capella' is very sensitive to environmental changes — every move or draft can cause significant leaf drop, as reminded by the common mistakes with houseplants.
  • Lightly prune stems in spring above a node: Gold Capella tends to stretch toward the light — light pruning stimulates lateral shoot growth and maintains a bushy, dense silhouette that is much more decorative, with golden variegation visible from all sides.
  • Repot every 2 years in spring in a light, well-draining substrate: Gold Capella is a medium to fast-growing plant that roots progressively — the steps of repotting houseplants fully apply here.

A Good Value
Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black
The suit is a good value. Ordered for senior prom for my son. He is 5’10 athletic build and between 165-170 lbs so we ordered the small since he wanted a slim fit and nothing that would be very loose. The suit fit him great, not too snug , the jacket has a satin finish on the lapel and edge of pockets which gives it an elevated elegant look. The jacket has an interior pocket but the rest are just for aesthetic as they do not open. I did have to cut a small slit in order to use the pocket square. The pants fit like a glove but you may want to size up if you are very muscular. The material is light weight which is perfect for prom season or warmer weather. The vest was oversized but we were not planning to use the vest anyway. Quality: several hanging threads that needed to be snipped but no big deal, the stitching was even and straight and the interior had piping of a complimentary fabric. After a full night of dancing and activities he did not have any issues with stitching breaking or splitting of seams. The buttons are black with a silver edge which give the suit some sophisticated flair but keep this in mind if you plan to style with gold. Overall, I am very pleased with this suit considering it’s price point. It’s perfect for a teen that will attend various senior events. Shipping took 2 weeks so plan accordingly and pay attention to the expected delivery date.

Decent Tux but no customer service
Size: XX-Large, Color: Deep Grey
Decent tux for the money. Wish that we could have ordered different sizes for the jacket and the pants. The vest/jacket fits great but the pants were too big. Ended up having to buy separate pants. The add says that if you email them for a different size, they will help you out, but we never heard anything back from our email.
