Cultivation methods and precautions of Schefflera

1. Soil

To grow Schefflera arborvitae, you need fertile, loose, and deep soil. Generally, you can mix leaf mold or peat soil, garden soil, and river sand or perlite in a ratio of 4:4:1.

2. Water

Schefflera prefers a soil environment with sufficient moisture. During the growth period, you need to pay attention to the condition of the soil in the pot and replenish water in time when it starts to dry out. When the temperature is relatively high in summer, spray more water around the plants.

3. Lighting

Schefflera does not like a growing environment with too much light and does not require much sunlight. Normally, just give it a small amount of scattered sunlight. When the sun is strong in the summer, you need to shade it. When the sun is insufficient in the winter, you need to move it to a sunny place under the south window.

4. Temperature

Schefflera prefers a relatively warm growing environment and has a low resistance to cold. Normally, the temperature should be kept within 15-25℃. In winter, keep it warm and adjust the temperature to above 10℃.

5. Notes

1. Change the pot every year. After one year of growth, the nutrients in the soil in the Schefflera pot will basically be absorbed by all, and it is necessary to replace it with new potting soil with sufficient nutrients.

2. Prune in time. Schefflera grows relatively fast and can easily grow very densely. At this time, timely pruning is required to cut off dense branches and overgrown branches to ensure that the remaining paper strips have sufficient nutrients.
