How often should I water ScheffleraGenerally, in spring and autumn, watering is required every 5-10 days, but the specific interval depends on the evaporation rate of water in the soil. If the evaporation is fast, watering can be done more frequently. In summer, water generally evaporates faster, so the frequency of watering can be shortened. Generally, it is watered once every 3-5 days to avoid water shortage. When watering, it is best to use beer or fish tank water, which is more in line with its growth conditions. Schefflera watering method1. Wooden stick test : Insert a bamboo stick into the potting soil to the bottom of the pot, pull it out and observe the moisture of the soil on it. This way you can determine the moisture of different soil layers. 2. Pinch the soil with your fingers : Pinch the soil in the pot with your fingers. If the soil is powdery, it means the soil is dry and you should water it immediately. If the soil is flaky or granular, it means the soil is moist and you don't need to water it for the time being. Precautions for watering Schefflera1. Do not water too much in winter : Schefflera likes plenty of sunlight and is not cold-resistant in winter, so it must be kept warm. Avoid watering too much in winter, which is extremely detrimental to its wintering. 2. Pay attention to changes in potting soil : When first moving indoors, you should open the windows for ventilation every day during the day, pay attention to changes in the wetness of the potting soil, and water appropriately. What to do if you water Schefflera too muchIf Schefflera is watered too much, it is best to change the soil in the pot in time. When the new pot is filled with soil to 2/3, put the dried plant in, then support it with one hand and continue to fill the soil with the other hand. After filling, use your hand to slightly compact the soil. |
