    Parasol plant? Scheffleras are commonly known as umbrella plant or umbrella tree, so that might be what you have. But also, there is currently being marketed a plant known as Mandevilla sun parasol, or parasol pink mandevilla. Is this what you have? If so, these are not indoor plants, although since they're tropicals they can't take a northern winter. You might try letting it go dormant - keep it in a spot protected from freezing temps (basements are often used) and water very sparingly. like once a month. It will quickly lose all its leaves, but when you put it back outside in the spring and start watering it fully, it should come back.

    A Parasol Palm can be located in a partial sun location.
    You can resume watering and see if the palm can recover from the lack of moisture.
    Your palm should have moist soil and high humidity.

    Being a semi-large, and invasive, tree it will be best not to surround the tree with concrete. Concrete will likely crack, and the tree can suffer from root suffocation.

    I would recommend removing the tree before pouring concrete.

    Here is an article to help you kill the tree, should you need to do so:
