How often should I water Schefflera?

Schefflera likes moisture, so it must be watered sufficiently during maintenance. Just follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet to avoid long-term drought. The plant can be watered with tap water, willow sap water, fish tank water, and beer water, all of which are beneficial to the growth of the plant.

1. Watering in spring

Schefflera grows fast in spring and requires a lot of water. It can be watered 1-2 times a week to meet the plant's growth needs.

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

From September to November in autumn, the climate is relatively mild. The watering strategy at this time is similar to that in spring, and you can water every 3-5 days.

4. Watering in winter

After entering winter, the growth of Schefflera occidentalis 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.
