Old Schefflera stump in a pot

Old Schefflera stumps are suitable for planting in pots with good drainage and air permeability. If you want to plant in a taller flowerpot, you can use a clay pot. Do not use airtight pots such as glass pots and plastic pots, which can easily cause the roots of the plant to rot.

Precautions for the maintenance of old Schefflera chinensis piles

If the old Schefflera stump is not topped and pinched in time during the peak growth season, it will be difficult to grow side buds, which will affect the plant shape. If you want it to grow more side buds and grow them neatly, you can apply gibberellin to the bud points in the leaf axils after pinching and topping, and rotate the flowerpot every few days to allow light to be evenly distributed in all directions, so that the new buds grow more uniformly.
