Schefflera Amate 10"

Botanical name:  Schefflera actinophylla

Origin: Australia 

Size: XL (10 -inch nursery pot)

Light:  Place your Schefflera where it will receive medium to bright indirect light such as in a Northern or Eastern facing Window. If your window faces South or West, then it’s best to place it 5-10ft from the window in order to prevent leaf burn.

Difficulty: Moderate

Water: Schefflera Amates like to dry out significantly between waterings. The most common mistake made with the Schefflera Amate is overwatering. Let the soil almost completely dry out between waterings. Typically, you don’t want to water your Schefflera more than once every 10 days. Do not water if the top half of the potting medium is still moist.

Plant care: Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides and dust the leaves often so the plant can photosynthesize efficiently. When dusting the leaves, also take the opportunity to inspect the undersides and keep an eye out for pests.
