The Umbrella Plant can grow quickly but won't grow too large indoors, since you can keep its height in check through cultivation and pruning, making it ideal for both larger and smaller spaces. It will also thrive in bright spots; it can stand some direct sunlight without burning, as long as this is limited to a few hours a day, and loves bright but indirect light too.
