SCHEFFLERA |
|
Schefflera is a tropical-looking plant whose long-stalked leaves are divided into leaflets that spread like fingers of a hand. Schefflera has been called the classic, easy-to-grow indoor tree. It branches nicely and adapts to a variety of light conditions. It can easily be kept to a manageable size, and its large leaves produce enough oxygen to clean the air of pollution. |

FERTILIZING SCHEFFLERA |
|
Schefflera should be grown in a room with moderate temperature but with a humid atmosphere, if possible. Misting should be done as needed. Shefflera likes bright light but can tolerate low light and some direct sun.
Pot in a standard potting mixture and repot when the plant appears root-bound, unless you want to keep the plant small. Let the top inch or so dry out between waterings, especially in fall and winter when growth is slower. Feed about once a month in spring and summer with VigoroŽ All Purpose Liquid or Water Souluble Plant Food but don't overfeed. Wash the leaves regularly.
