Arboricola Trinette FAQ

Arboricola Trinette in a 3-gallon container typically arrives 26″–32″ tall. In the ground, with ideal conditions, it can reach up to 4–8 feet tall, making it suitable for both compact spaces and larger landscapes. Its naturally bushy growth habit makes it adaptable for hedges, patios, or indoor décor.

No. Schefflera arboricola plants, including the Trinette variety, are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Ingesting the foliage may cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Always keep this plant out of reach of pets and children.

Yes, Arboricola Trinette makes an excellent indoor houseplant when placed in bright, indirect light. It tolerates lower light but may grow more slowly and produce less vibrant foliage. With proper watering and occasional pruning, it thrives as an easy-care indoor specimen.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, generally every 7–10 days indoors and more frequently outdoors in hot weather. Be sure to use well-draining soil and empty saucers to prevent soggy roots. Allowing slight drying between waterings helps prevent overwatering issues.

Yes, occasional pruning helps keep Arboricola Trinette compact and attractive. Trim back any overgrown or leggy stems to encourage fuller growth. Removing damaged or yellowing leaves not only maintains its appearance but also promotes healthy new growth.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
