Schefflera

Schefflera plants, often admired for their glossy, umbrella-like leaves, are medium light houseplants that thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They prefer locations near a window where they can receive plenty of filtered light throughout the day. One of the most common issues plant owners experience with schefflera is leggy or floppy growth. This happens when the plant doesn’t get enough light, causing it to stretch toward the nearest source, resulting in long, weak stems and sparse foliage. While they can tolerate lower light conditions for short periods, prolonged lack of adequate lighting can significantly affect their appearance and health. To encourage strong, upright growth and maintain a full, bushy shape, place your schefflera in a well-lit area, but avoid harsh, direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves. Proper lighting not only helps prevent legginess but also supports the plant’s overall vigor, making it a lush and attractive addition to any indoor space.

Care:

• To water correctly, wait until the soil in the pot dries out and then thoroughly soak the soil when you water. Often, people will over water their schefflera plant and this will eventually kill it.
• Yellow leaves that fall off the plant is a sign that you may be watering too much.
• You do not need to fertilize your schefflera, but if you would like to, you can give it a half solution water soluble fertilizer once a year.
