What to do if Schefflera is frostbitten

1. Treatment methods after frostbite

When the cultivated Schefflera is frostbitten, it should be moved to a new location as soon as possible. It should be moved indoors and the temperature should be controlled at around 8-10℃. Check the plants for frostbite and cut off any frozen branches, starting from 1 cm above the branches. If its branches are not wrinkled and blackened, they can sprout again.

2. Wintering Tips

1. Ensure light: Pay attention to light during the winter. It must receive light for at least 4 hours a day. Usually the sunlight in winter is not very strong, so it can be kept in the sun all day.

2. Watering in moderation: In winter, its growth condition will deteriorate and the water requirement will be greatly reduced, so you can water it once a week or half a month depending on the specific situation. Try to water it during the warmer afternoon, and don't water too much to avoid freezing its roots.

3. Proper ventilation: Pay attention to ventilation when keeping plants indoors in winter. Open windows more often on sunny days, and the wintering environment should not be too closed.
