Dwarf Umbrella Tree | Schefflera arboricola

Dwarf Umbrella Tree | Schefflera arboricola Care:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; tolerates partial shade. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while too little light causes leggy growth.

• Watering: Allow the top 2-5cm of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. They prefer to be moist but not waterlogged to avoid root rot.

• Humidity & Temperature: Appreciates higher humidity (can be misted) but tolerates average home levels. Keep temperatures above 10-15ºC and avoid cold drafts.

• Soil & Fertiliser: Use a well-draining potting mix. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser, typically during the growing season (spring and summer).

• Pruning & Maintenance: Prune regularly to maintain shape and promote a bushier appearance. Clean leaves with a damp cloth to encourage photosynthesis.
