It is better to water Schefflera every few days.

How often should Schefflera be watered?

During the growth process of Schefflera, sufficient water is needed. It is best not to fix the watering time, because the amount of water required by the plant is different in different climatic environments. The principle should be to not water it unless the plant is dry, and to water it thoroughly when watering. Generally, it can be watered once every 5-10 days in spring and autumn, and once every 3-5 days in summer. The leaves should also be sprayed with water using a spray bottle.

Schefflera watering method

1. Schefflera is a plant that prefers to grow in a humid environment. Therefore, in its spring and autumn seasons, the plant is basically in the growth period. Therefore, at this time, it is best to water it every 3-4 days, but be sure not to water it too much to avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the pot.

2. During winter maintenance, it is best to reduce watering because the temperature is relatively low and water evaporates slowly. Excessive watering at this time can easily cause frostbite to the plants.

3. In summer, we'd better increase the frequency of watering, mainly because the temperature is very high at this time and the water evaporates relatively quickly. Therefore, it's best to water the plants once a day and spray the leaves of the plants with water. This can not only keep the soil moist, but also cool the plants.

4. For some old Schefflera plants that have grown for many years, it is best to repot them in spring to replenish nutrients in time, and the plants can also be pruned and shaped at this time.

Precautions for watering Schefflera

1. For some Schefflera that have just been grafted, we must pay attention during the maintenance process, especially for Schefflera that has just been potted. We must water it sufficiently and then place the plant in a cool place for maintenance.

2. Schefflera likes plenty of sunlight and is not cold-resistant in winter, so it must be kept warm. Avoid watering too much in winter, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter. After transplanting, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation, pay attention to the changes in the dryness and wetness of the potting soil, and add water appropriately.
