Schefflera Arb. Variegated

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light, but variegation may fade, and growth can slow.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Tolerates average humidity. Mist occasionally or place on a humidity tray if the air is dry.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix.
• Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop in winter.
• Pruning: Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain a compact, bushy shape.
• Pests: Can attract mealybugs, spider mites, or scale. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested.
