The most suitable temperature for the growth of schefflera is 16-24℃, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 12℃. It is not resistant to high temperatures. In summer, the temperature is relatively high. If it exceeds 30℃, the flowers should be moved to a well-ventilated location. You can also spray some water around the plant to lower the temperature.

However, you must not place the potted plants directly on the radiator or next to it.

Schefflera likes an environment with sufficient light, so it is necessary to ensure the supply of sunlight. Pay attention to proper shade in summer and avoid exposure to the sun. It must continue to receive light in winter to ensure normal growth activities.

It is best to choose loose, breathable, well-drained and fertile soil, and avoid long-term waterlogging in the soil.

Watering issues for Schefflera cultivation

Watering generally follows the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when you do. Wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering, and water it thoroughly when you do. In summer, evaporation is faster, so the amount of water can be increased appropriately, but in other periods, the water supply can be reduced appropriately, especially in winter. Be careful not to keep the soil moist for a long time, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

In order to make the schefflera grow better and to make it more beautiful, it needs to be pruned. Generally speaking, during the growth process, the petiole at the base gradually degenerates, and the stipules need to be cut off in time when they become dry. After flowering, the flower stalks also need to be cut off when they turn yellow. The method is to leave two centimeters from the base and cut them off at the protective stake.
