Pro Tip
Rotate your Schefflera regularly to keep its shape balanced and encourage even growth on all sides.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. Too little light can dull the variegation and lead to legginess. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays. Great for bright corners or near east- or north-facing windows.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil stay soggy, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering. It enjoys regular wiping or misting to keep its leaves clean and healthy.
-
Growth and Size
Schefflera arboricola can grow 3 to 6 feet indoors over time, with a bushy, upright form. Regular pruning can help control height and encourage fuller growth.
-
Pet-Friendly?
Schefflera is considered toxic if consumed. It's best to keep it out of reach of curious pets who tend to chew on leaves. -
Benefits and Air Quality
Schefflera is known to contribute to improved indoor air quality by helping remove pollutants and maintaining a fresh, green feel in the room. -
Difficulty level
