Planting & Care

When you receive your Schefflera, place it in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, then allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. This plant appreciates moderate humidity; you can increase humidity by misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray.

Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Keep away from drafts and heating vents.
