How to grow Schefflera on the balcony, what should be paid attention to

1. Can it be grown on the balcony?

Schefflera is a shade-loving plant. It does not require much light and grows well in a semi-shady environment. However, it also needs light during its growth and cannot lack sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and dull, and the plant will become weak. It can be grown on the balcony on a daily basis and exposed to sufficient light to maintain basic growth needs. However, you must pay attention to shading. You can use a sunshade net to block it, so that it is only exposed to soft scattered light and cannot withstand the scorching sun.

2. How to maintain

1. Temperature: In order to maintain normal growth, the temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees Celsius. Growth is more favorable within this temperature range. In addition to providing shade in the summer, you also need to spray water to cool down and prevent the temperature from being too high. If the temperature is low in winter, you need to take measures to keep warm.

2. Water: Water is also very important. You must water it reasonably to maintain the growth needs. Do not wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering it. Maintain basic moisture. In addition to normal watering, when the air is dry, you also need to spray water on the plants to increase the humidity through evaporation.

3. Fertilization: May to September is the growing season. Fertilizer should be applied twice a month to ensure nutrient needs.
