How often should I water Schefflera

During the maintenance period of Schefflera arborvitae, you just need to follow the principle of watering "when the environment is dry and when the environment is wet". This plant likes moisture and has relatively high requirements for water. In addition to using tap water to water the plant, you can also use acidic water such as willow sap water, fish tank water, and beer water.

1. Watering in spring

The climate is suitable in spring, and Schefflera grows fast and requires a lot of water. It usually needs to be watered every 3-5 days.

2. Watering in summer

In summer, due to the high temperature, water evaporates quickly. It is best to increase the frequency of watering appropriately. It is necessary to water every day and spray water frequently to keep it moist.

3. Watering in autumn

The climate in autumn is relatively mild, and the frequency of watering at this time is similar to that in spring. You can water once every 3-5 days. Be careful not to let water splash onto the leaves.

4. Watering in winter

After entering winter, the growth of Schefflera arborvitae basically stagnates, and the water demand is less at this time, but it cannot be completely without watering. Generally, watering once a week is sufficient.

Precautions for watering Schefflera

Schefflera likes a humid growing environment. In addition to watering it in time, you can also spray water around it more often to increase the air humidity. Pay attention to the water temperature in winter, which is best to be close to room temperature.
