Schefflera Arboricola Care Tips:

Light: Provide the Schefflera Arboricola with bright, indirect light to promote healthy growth and foliage. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight.

Soil: Plant your Schefflera Arboricola in well-draining soil, such as a mixture of soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Watering: Allow the top half of soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly. The Schefflera Arboricola prefers slightly moist soil but is susceptible to root rot if kept too wet.

Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around the Schefflera Arboricola, especially during dry winter months. Regular misting or placing a humidity tray nearby can help increase humidity levels.

Temperature: Keep the Schefflera Arboricola in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions.

Fertilization: Feed your Schefflera Arboricola with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during winter when growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or brown leaves to keep the plant looking vibrant and healthy.
