A Schefflera is a popular houseplant with large, compound leaves that are typically divided into smaller leaflets. It is known for its resilience and adaptability to various light conditions, making it a great choice for indoor spaces. Schefflera plants are also commonly referred to as umbrella plants due to the umbrella-like arrangement of their leaves.
There is an Umbrella Plant - Schefflera arboricola
It might if you cut it back (remove the single growing point).
A schefflera plant can live for several years, typically around 10-20 years with proper care. However, some well-maintained schefflera plants have been known to live even longer, up to 30 years or more. Factors like watering, light, and temperature conditions can affect the plant's lifespan.

The scientific or taxonomic name would be Scheffleraspp.
The scientific name of the apat apat leaf is Schefflera actinophylla. It is a tropical plant native to Australia with distinctive umbrella-like leaves.
There are three different species of umbrellabirds. They are: Long-wattled Umbrellabird, Cephalopterus penduliger Amazonian Umbrellabird, Cephalopterus ornatus Bare-necked Umbrellabird, Cephalopterus glabricollis
There is no plant known as an "octopus plant." However, there are plants with the common name "octopus plant" like the Octopus tree (Schefflera actinophylla) due to the long, sprawling shape of its branches, or the Octopus Agave (Agave vilmoriniana) for its unique growth pattern.
Yes, in fact there are many! Usnea (a lichen that looks similar to the moss on live oak trees; Urtica dioica, which is Stinging Nettle; Ulmus Fulva which is also known as Slippery Elm. If you were looking for herbs with common names starting with the letter U, rather than their botanical binomials starting with U, here's a few of those: Umbrella Grass, Umbrella Tree, Unicorn Root, Uva-ursi.
In their natural environment, tree kangaroos eats fruits, tree blossoms, juicy leaves or bark, ferns, and moss which they find in the rainforest habitat in which they live.Different species eat different plants, according to their locality. Bennett's Tree kangaroo, for example, which is one of the two species of tree kangaroos found in Australia, is particularly fond of the Ganophyllum falcatum, which is variously known as Scaly Bark Ash or Daintree Hickory in Australia, or as lulibar, tapu or mangir in Southeast Asia. Bennett's Tree kangaroo also enjoys leaves from the Queensland Umbrella plant (Schefflera actinophylla).Other species favoured by Australian tree kangaroos include:Leichhardt (Nauclea Orinetalis)Devil's Claw (Pisonia aculeata)Burny Vine (Trophis scandens)Blood Vine (Austrosteenisia blakeii)various other vines, such as Clematis glycinoides, Hippocratia Barbata, Cissus pentaclada and Jasminium didymumnative olives (olea paniculate)Variegated Fig (Ficus variegata)Native Longan (Dimocarpus australianus) - especially the fruitfreshwater mangrove, or Corky Bark (Carallia brachiata)Matchbox Bean, or Sea Bean (Etada phaseoloides)

When shopping for easy indoor plants, it’s hard to know what plants have the right characteristics to survive inside in the long-run. Growers and nurseries use greenhouses, grow lights, and other equipment to keep plants looking their best. Many plants sold at retail nurseries are short-term investments; poinsettias sold for the holidays are natives to Mexico that only look attractive for a few months. Other flowering plants and exotics may never flower indoors without supplemental, lighting, humidity, and climate control. While some plants are not ideal for growing inside, many trees and flowering plants have adapted extremely well to indoor growing conditions.Light requirements are the most important consideration when selecting indoor plants. Easy-to-grow plants are often tropical natives with exotic foliage. In a tropical jungle, many plants grow in the shaded under-canopy. These low-growing plants are shade tolerant and thrive in consistently warm household temperatures. Tropical trees, such as schefflera, aralia, and ficus, are very adaptable to indoor growing conditions. These plants are also reliable choices for bonsai plantings and full-sized pots.Houseplants are more likely to die from over-watering than under-watering. Care tags with vague terms, such as water moderately, offer little help when determining a plant’s care needs. In the beginning, signs of over-watering resemble dehydration. In general, the first several inches of soil should be dry before watering. Fuchsias, anthuriums, and plants with aerial roots require more water, which makes them more challenging than other houseplants.10 Easiest Indoor Plants•African violets•Aloe and haworthia•Asparagus fern•Dracaena*•Hoyas or waxvine•Norfolk Island pine•Peace lily*•Philodendron•Spider plant*•Swiss cheese plant*These houseplants plants are excellent for improving indoor air quality.Fortunately, there are many vigorous and easy-to-grow houseplants that are affordable to acquire and will last for years. Potted trees, such as Norfolk Island pines, Swiss cheese plants, and parlor palms become large specimens quickly. For long-lasting hanging baskets, spider plants, hoyas, ferns, and other trailing plants are excellent choices. With ample light, water, and fertilizer, these easy indoor plants will provide years of trouble-free beauty.
