SCHEFFLERA




A classic plant that makes itself at home in many places, including corporate
offices and cozy living rooms, schefflera is a low maintenance houseplant for
anyone looking to add some green to their space. Plant breeders have brought
new varieties to the market. If you haven’t perused the houseplant section of
a local nursery lately, take time to check out the variegated scheffleras in

SCHEFFLERA
CARE




The schefflera houseplant is a popular plant and comes in many varieties.
The most well known are the umbrella tree and the dwarf umbrella tree.
One of the reasons the plant is popular is because schefflera plant care
is so easy, but, while schefflera care is easy, the plant does need to be
cared for. Keep reading to learn more about growing schefflera and keeping
it healthy and lush.



Schefflera Plant Care Instructions

There are two very important parts to proper schefflera care. The first is
correct sunlight and the second is proper watering. Light – Schefflera plants
are medium light plants, which means that they need bright but indirect light.
A common complaint about schefflera plants is that they get leggy and floppy.
This problem is caused by too little light. Making sure that you are growing
schefflera in the right kind of light will help prevent leggy growth. On the
other side, you do not want to place a schefflera houseplant in direct, bright
light, as this will burn the leaves. Water – When growing schefflera, be aware
that watering correctly will help to keep your schefflera houseplant healthy.
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. Additional care of schefflera includes
pruning and fertilization.



Pruning

Your schefflera may also need to be pruned occasionally, especially if it is not
getting quite enough light. Pruning a schefflera is simple. Just cut off what you
feel is overgrown or leggy back to a size or shape you like. Schefflera houseplants
rebound quickly from pruning and will look even fuller and more lush shortly after
pruning.



Fertilizer

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. Schefflera plants are poisonous
to people and animals, if eaten. It is not often fatal, but will cause a burning sensation,
swelling, difficulty swallowing, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.



Schefflera Houseplant Pests and Diseases

Schefflera plants are not often bothered by pests or disease, but it can happen occasionally.
Spider mites and mealybugs are the most common pests that affect schefflera plants. In light
cases of infestation, washing the plant with water and soap will normally eliminate the pests.
With heavier infestations, you many need to treat the plant with an insecticide like neem oil.
Also, be aware that pests typically attack this plant if it is stressed. If your schefflera
has pests, this is likely a sign it is either getting too little light or too much water. The
most common disease that affects schefflera is root rot. This disease is brought on by
overwatering and poor drainage in the soil.
