How often should Schefflera be watered in summer? Summer watering method

Schefflera affine watering frequency in summer

When it is hot and dry in summer, the moisture of Schefflera evaporates quickly. At this time, the frequency of watering can be appropriately increased. Generally, a small amount of watering is needed every day to keep the soil slightly moist. In summer, it is usually watered thoroughly once every 2-3 days. If it is relatively dry, the frequency should be appropriately increased, and water should be sprayed on the leaves and the surrounding air to ensure humidity.

How to water Schefflera in summer

1. Schefflera is very drought-resistant and moisture-resistant, but you still need to pay attention to the fact that the surface of the soil turns white and dry before watering. Do not allow too much water to accumulate to avoid root rot and cause the death of the plant.

2. Determine the amount of water to be used for Schefflera based on actual conditions. The amount of water should be enough to moisten the soil. If it is relatively dry, you need to spray water on the leaves to ensure moisture.

The correct way to water Schefflera

1. In spring and autumn, as the temperature drops, the growth rate of Schefflera begins to slow down, and watering it once or twice a week is enough to meet its water needs.

2. In winter, the growth of Schefflera arborvitae is basically stagnant and it requires very little water. Generally, it only needs to be watered once a week. It is best to water it at noon when the temperature is higher to avoid freezing of the roots.
