Oh, Schefflera Moonlight 'Umbrella Plant'! That sounds like a fantastic choice! The Schefflera Moonlight, also known as the Umbrella Plant, is a popular houseplant with striking foliage. Here are some care tips for your Schefflera Moonlight 'Umbrella Plant':

1. Lighting: Schefflera Moonlight thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering your Schefflera Moonlight. It prefers slightly moist soil but can tolerate slight drying between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: Plant your Schefflera Moonlight in well-draining potting soil. A mixture of regular potting soil, perlite, and peat moss works well. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

4. Temperature: Schefflera Moonlight prefers average room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). It can tolerate slightly lower temperatures but should be protected from cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Humidity: Schefflera Moonlight can tolerate average household humidity levels. However, it appreciates slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water near the plant.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your Schefflera Moonlight with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the winter months.

7. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of your Schefflera Moonlight. You can trim back any leggy or overgrown branches to encourage bushier growth.
