Precautions for transplanting Schefflera chinensis: What is the best month for transplanting?

If you are transplanting from a small pot to a large pot, and the root ball does not move or moves very little, it is not affected by the season and can be transplanted in summer. You just need to water it enough to help the roots take hold after completion. However, if you want to remove the old soil and replace it with new soil, it is best to do so in late winter or early spring.

Points to note when transplanting Schefflera chinensis

1. The frequency of transplanting Schefflera schefflera mainly depends on the size of the plant and the season. Generally, adult Schefflera schefflera needs to replace the flower pot and soil once a year on average.

2. The best time for transplanting is in spring and autumn, because the Schefflera grows vigorously at this time, and the growth of the plant will not be affected by changing the soil or the environment.

Transplantation and management of Schefflera chinensis

1. Watering

The root system of Schefflera arborvitae is relatively fragile after transplanting. Do not water it first. It needs to be slowly nursed back to health. Wait until the soil in the pot is slightly dry before watering it thoroughly to help it adapt to the pot faster.

2. Lighting

Schefflera prefers a semi-shaded environment. After transplanting, it can be moved to a semi-shaded place indoors for maintenance. It cannot be exposed to sunlight at this time. It needs to wait until it has adapted to the pot before it can be exposed to a little sunlight.

3. Yellow leaf treatment

If you water the Schefflera too much after transplanting, water will accumulate, causing the leaves to turn yellow. You need to control the water and drain the accumulated water in time. Then wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again.
