About Plant- Schefflera species are wonderful tropical plants. The larger schefflera (sometimes called the umbrella plant) features long, shiny, oval green leaves that droop gracefully from a central stalk resembling an umbrella. A mature schefflera might have 12 to 16 leaflets from a single stalk, while an immature schefflera is more likely to have four to six.
Schefflera is also known as the umbrella plant. It is a popular house plant because of the beauty of its dark green leaveas, which form "fingers" in a circle. Schefflera is an easy to grow plant and it will grow for many years.
Schefflera Plant Care
Soil- Plant schefflera in a rich, loose potting media with moist compost. A well-draining sandy loam soil with an acidic to slightly alkaline pH is ideal.
Water- Water weekly during the growing season and spray the leaves frequently.
Fertilizer- Feed schefflera plants twice a week during the growing season with liquid fertilizer or use two applications of slow-release pellets.
Light- Schefflera prefer bright, indirect light. In the summer, move it outside if possible under a shady overhang. Never place a schefflera houseplant in direct, full sun as this will burn the leaves.
Humidity & Temperature- As it is a tropical plant, schefflera appreciates a lot of humidity and tropical temperatures; it will suffer in temperatures less than 60 degrees.
