Plant Size Small: 4 inch standard nursery pot. Medium:Ā 6 inch standard nursery pot. Light Schefflera prefers bright, indirect light. In the summer, moveĀ her outside whereĀ she will receive bright light but not direct sun. She can get floppy and leggy if she's notĀ getting enough light. Never placeĀ her in a direct, full sun spot because the intense sun can burnĀ her leaves Water You can wait until the soil in the pot dries out and then thoroughly soak the soil when you water. Cut back on water during winter. Often, people will overwater a Schefflera plant, and doing so will eventually kill it. Yellow and dropped leaves are a sign of overwatering.

Avoid planting in an outdoor location where the soil becomes too wet or waterlogged. Temperature and HumidityDo not expose these plants to drafts or dry heating vents. On the other hand, an underwatered or cold Schefflera will begin to drop leaves quickly. If the plant loses all of its leaves, you can attempt to save the plant by moving it outdoors in the spring and watering generously.FertilizerFeed Schefflera plants twice a week during the growing season with liquid fertilizer, or use two applications of slow-release pellets.
