Cultivation methods and precautions of Schefflera

Schefflera is a very popular green plant in life. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a high status in Feng Shui. It is especially suitable for home cultivation. The cultivation method of Schefflera is not complicated, but there are many things that need special attention in the cultivation process. Now I will take you to learn about this knowledge.

How to cultivate Schefflera

1. Soil

When growing Schefflera, you must choose suitable soil. This plant likes deep and loose soil. When growing it at home, you can choose leaf mold or peat soil as the substrate. You can also add about a quarter of garden soil or river sand. In addition, apply an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer as base fertilizer before planting.

2. Watering

If you want to grow Schefflera well, watering is very important. This plant is afraid of both dryness and waterlogging. During normal cultivation, you must water it in time to keep the soil moist. However, after entering the cold weather in winter, the water absorption will slow down and its growth rate will also slow down. At this time, you must reduce the water supply. During the cultivation period, you must not allow water to accumulate in the flowerpot, otherwise its roots will rot, the leaves will fall off, and in severe cases, the Schefflera will die.

Breeding precautions

1. Light adjustment

Schefflera is a green plant with strong vitality. It can grow normally as long as there is suitable soil and sufficient water. However, if you want to grow Schefflera well, you need to pay special attention to sunlight regulation. This plant likes to grow in a semi-shaded environment. During its growth season, you can place it in a place with scattered light indoors. After entering winter, you need to move it to the sunny south window. During the breeding process, Schefflera must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise its leaves will fall off in large numbers and its ornamental value will decrease accordingly.

2. Temperature regulation

When growing Schefflera, you must pay attention to temperature regulation. This plant has poor cold resistance and cannot be placed in an environment below ten degrees in winter, otherwise its leaves will turn yellow. When the temperature drops below zero, Schefflera will die. Usually, the indoor temperature is controlled at around twenty degrees, and its growth is most vigorous. In addition, when growing Schefflera, you must also pay attention to the supply of fertilizers. During its peak growth season, you should fertilize it once a week. You can choose a thin cake fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer.
