Schefflera Plant - Nursery Pot

**Schefflera (Umbrella Tree) Care (5 Key Points)**  

1. **Light:** Bright indirect light (tolerates medium light; may become leggy in low light).  
2. **Water:** Allow top 3-5cm of soil to dry between waterings (overwatering causes leaf drop).  
3. **Humidity:** Prefers 40-60% – mist leaves occasionally or use a pebble tray.  
4. **Soil:** Well-draining potting mix (add perlite for aeration).  
5. **Pruning:** Trim leggy stems in spring to encourage bushiness.  

**Special Care Notes:**  
- **Pet Warning:** Toxic to cats/dogs if ingested.  
- **Dust Magnet:** Wipe leaves monthly to keep pores clear.  
- **Fast Grower:** Repot every 2-3 years or when root-bound.  

**Pro Tip:** Rotate plant weekly for even growth. Fertilize monthly in spring/summer with diluted balanced fertilizer. Dropping leaves? Check for drafts or sudden temperature changes! 🌿  

**Varieties:**  
• Dwarf types (e.g., *Schefflera arboricola*) ideal for tabletops  
• Larger varieties (e.g., *Schefflera actinophylla*) grow up to 2m+ indoors
