Planting And Care

Light Requirement

  •  Plants are medium light plants, which means that they need bright but indirect light.
  • A common complaint about schefflera plants is that they get leggy and floppy.
  • This problem is caused by too little light.
  • Making sure that you are growing schefflera in the right kind of light will help prevent leggy growth. On the other side, you do not want to place a schefflera houseplant in direct, bright light, as this will burn the leaves.

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.
  • Avoid planting in a location where the soil becomes too wet or waterlogged.

Watering

  •  Be aware that watering correctly will help to keep your schefflera houseplant healthy.
  • To water correctly, wait until the soil in the pot dries out and then thoroughly soak the soil when you water.
  • Often, people will over water their schefflera plant and this will eventually kill it.
  • Yellow leaves that fall off the plant is a sign that you may be watering too much.

Application of Fertilizer

You do not need to fertilize your schefflera, but if you would like to, you can give it a half solution water soluble fertilizer once a year.

Re-potting

  • Repotting a Schefflera should be done when the container is crowded. In the wild, in-ground plants can reach 8 feet (2 m.) in height but you can easily keep it smaller by tip pruning. Transplanting a potted Schefflera will encourage new growth and keep the root system happy.

Schefflera Uses

  • According to the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, schefflera has bitter, sweet and warm properties, and is associated with the Liver meridian.
  • Its main functions are to promote the circulation of the blood and to alleviate pain. sore and/or swollen throat.
