Heptapleurum (Schefflera) arboricola 'Gold Capella'

Heptapleurum (Schefflera) arboricola 'Gold Capella' is a yellow-variegated dwarf umbrella tree with glossy green palmate leaves margined in light yellow. On mature growth, the leaves can reach around 20 cm across, giving this cultivar a fuller foliage display than smaller young plants suggest.

'Gold Capella' grows as an evergreen woody shrub and can become a larger indoor specimen with time, pruning and root space. Outdoors or under glass it is described as reaching several metres, while indoor plants are usually kept smaller through pot size and regular trimming.

Yellow margins and fuller umbrella leaves

  • Variegation: Glossy green leaflets with light yellow margins.
  • Leaf size: Mature palmate leaves can reach around 20 cm across.
  • Habit: Evergreen woody shrub that can be trained as a bushy plant or taller indoor specimen.
  • Growth response: Prunes well, making height and branching easier to manage.
  • Flowering: Flowers are seldom produced in cultivation; the glossy variegated leaf clusters remain the visible feature indoors.

How 'Gold Capella' matures into a woody shrub

Heptapleurum arboricola is native to Hainan and Taiwan and grows primarily in wet tropical conditions. The species is a scrambling shrub in nature, but in indoor cultivation it behaves as a woody potted shrub with upright stems and repeated leaf clusters. 'Gold Capella' keeps that durable shrub habit and adds a clear yellow-margined leaf pattern.

Older plants can become woody at the base and more open in the middle when light is low or pruning is skipped for years. Regular light pruning creates new branching points and keeps the foliage closer to the stem. The pale margins are more sensitive to harsh sun than green tissue, so filtered brightness is better than hot direct exposure.

Care for a yellow-margined umbrella tree

  • Light: Bright indirect light keeps the yellow-margined leaflets firm. Medium light is tolerated, but new growth may be more open and slower.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 25–35% of the potting mix has dried. Give a full soak and let the pot drain completely.
  • Substrate: Choose a free-draining mix with organic matter and mineral aeration for roots that need moisture followed by oxygen.
  • Temperature: Keep between about 18–27 °C. Cold drafts and damp substrate can trigger leaf drop and root stress.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually enough for established plants. Very dry conditions can make spider mites more likely on the glossy leaflets.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly through active growth. A brighter, actively growing plant can use more nutrients than one kept cooler or darker.
  • Pruning: Cut above a leaf node to control height and encourage side shoots. This is especially helpful for older plants with bare lower stems.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots are crowded, watering becomes hard to judge or the heavier top growth starts to unbalance the pot. Step up gradually rather than moving into an oversized container.
  • Summer outdoors: In warm frost-free weather, place outside only in bright shade with shelter from wind and midday sun. Bring it back before nights fall below about 15 °C.

Leaf drop, brown margins and stem problems

  • Leaf drop: Usually follows a sudden move, cold exposure, overwatering or drought. Stabilise care before making repeated changes.
  • Brown yellow margins: Check for sun scorch, dry roots or fertiliser build-up in the substrate.
  • Soft lower stem: This suggests a serious root or stem issue from persistent wetness. Remove the plant from standing water and check the roots.
  • Sticky residue on leaves: Inspect for scale insects, especially on stems and under leaflets.
  • Weak, stretched growth: Move the plant into brighter filtered light and prune back thin stems during active growth.

Pet safety and skin contact

Heptapleurum arboricola 'Gold Capella' is toxic if eaten and should be kept away from pets that chew plants. The sap and leaves can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract, and sap may irritate sensitive skin. Wear gloves if your skin reacts easily to plant sap.

Botanical name and cultivar background

Heptapleurum arboricola is the accepted botanical name for the species still often known as Schefflera arboricola. The species was first published by Hayata and belongs to the Araliaceae family. Arboricola means “dwelling in or on trees”. 'Gold Capella' is a recognised cultivar name for this yellow-margined selection.

Heptapleurum (Schefflera) arboricola 'Gold Capella' can grow from a small variegated shrub into a fuller indoor umbrella plant with regular trimming.

Large-format printer, fairly reliable and quick but so-so on ink usage
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Large-format scanner/printer. Accepts paper from the front (main) cassette OR through a back paper tray if you need to print something on different paper. Individual cartridges for ink. Not particularly economical on ink (and the ink of course is expensive) but the cartridges are individual (one each red, yellow, blue and black) and after a couple years of use, I've NEVER had to clean the print heads - printing is always clean and clear. Has had some issues connecting to wifi so have found the cable connection to the computer is best/more reliable. It's hard to find an absolutely perfect printer but this one comes close. I use it mostly for large scanning/printing as it goes up to 11 x 17 inches. One drawback to note is that after only a short time, the document feeder pulls the documents through crookedly, so scans/prints from the document feeder do NOT come out straight (for both single and double-sided scans.) This model is a few years old so there may be more recent Epson models on the market as of 2026.

All printer suck this one sucks less. :). Love it.
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
If you ever saw office space the movie there is a scene where he get mad at his printer and we all relate because printers have a lot of moving parts that can go bad. I have not got or set up a printer for many years. So it was a tad hard but honestly not really. It takes time because it does so much. And I wanted to rush but they truly did everything they could to baby sit us. Google the printer type with the word download. That is what I did and you come to a page you find and down load set up software. I set it up with usb. But also wireless. A tad tricky but only because I was not following directions. It takes some time to find all the packing tape and that’s fine. It’s bigger than most printers. So when I was looking for printers they were 400 or 1-2 thousand. And then this one less than two hundred. In business two hundred is like disposable. At home it’s a nice dinner. So I am impressed for the money what ya get. Personally. The screen is huge. And clear. And you can read it from many angles. It’s animated. Touch. It’s flexible you can tilt it. Better than the old brother with with a thumbnail. I also set it up on my phone. It was not hat hard and printed a photo and it printed color edge to edge and it’s on standard paper. Look nice. And like a photo in a magazine. Can’t wait to print something 13 by 19. We own a venue restaurant and do shows can’t wait to make show posters. I’m going to buy one for home but want to see what printing cost is.

Epson quality has sunk into the nameless abyss
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Really shocked that this is how bad Epson products have gotten. This MFC isn't even comparable to models that came out 20 years ago. First off the scanner is extremely poor quality. My Brother MFC from 2009 can pick up light blues and reds and brightness of the paper better then this Epson can. Which is just sad. Very poor color gambit for the scanner, it would be better to take photos with your phone and send them to the printer then use the scanner. I scan in watercolors and ink paintings/sketches and had to pull out my decade old scanner rather then use this one. Then there is the quality of the prints, which is mediocre at best. Colors don't reproduce well and you can't adjust the profile enough to get it to print correctly. Then there is the insane amount of ink this thing uses. The amount of pages you can print per cartridge is a complete lie, think half if not a 3rd of the page count unless you are only printing on a 5.5x4 sheets of paper. Cartridges are overpriced and they can not be refilled, Epson installed a one use only chip in each of their cartridges and even if it had only used half the ink in the cartridge it won't print with it anymore. They also force updates that will deactivate any cartridge you haven't replaced in a while even if it is a genuine Epson cartridge. This printer's only purpose is to be a money pit for ink cartridges you don't actually need. Never buy Epson, they have become a dishonest unethical company with a shotty product line. *update, Epson gets worst. Firmware got updated by accident. Apparently now no cartridges work with printer, even bought from Epson. Everyone is unrecognizable by the printer. Epson has gone overboard on making their printers n compatible with remanufactured cartridges that they decided to make even their own cartridges no longer work. Turning the printer into a 50lb paper weight. NEVER BUY AN EPSON PRODUCT!!!!

Printer work according to what I was expecting . Prints 🖨 great and fast / copy fast . Set up is easy but wifi and wireless connection is very tricky with phone set up . it may take some extra time . I look at videos on you tube for wifi & wireless set up . The APP there's a few App . I install the Epson smart App on my phone. Or the Epson iprint . The panel display will walk you through set up . also work great for me great display . I also like the lower tray went ready to print it comes out automatically and closes automatically went turning printer off .

So fun with good results!
Works great so far! Never used a sublimation printer or heat press before in my life and the shirt below is my attempt. The ghosting was totally user error and not due to the print. The set-up process was a bit long because it involved a 14 minute ink cycle, but the instructions walk you through every step very clearly so there were no issues. Follow them and you will be up and running in about 25 minutes. It did not come with paper as represented so be sure you have some on hand. The print quality is great from my perspective and from my shopping around, it's a great value for the money. There is little to no noise and it prints much faster than I was expecting.
