Schefflera forms canopies of branches that resemble small, glossy umbrellas. The plant blooms, but rarely indoors.
Light
Expose to medium (bright indirect) light. Avoid full sun. Low light produces sparse foliage. Grows well if under artificial light 16 hours per day.
Water
Allow soil to dry out between thorough waterings. Mist daily. Raise humidity.
Temperature
Maintain high temperatures during the day for best growth. Tolerates average temperatures.
Comments
Feed every 14 days with mild solution during active growth. Clean leaves monthly with tepid water. Avoid leaf polishes. Pinch off growing tips to encourage side branching. Propagate by air layering, tip cuttings, or seed.
