How often should Schefflera be watered? The correct watering method

How often should I water Schefflera?

How often to water Schefflera should be determined according to the growing season. If it is in spring and autumn, when the temperature and humidity are suitable, you don't need to water it too frequently, just once every ten days or half a month will be enough.

If it is summer, when the temperature is high and the climate is dry, it is best to water it once a day, and pay attention to watering in the morning and evening. If it is winter, the low temperature environment not only consumes water slowly, but also slows down the growth rate. Watering it once a month will be enough.

How to water Schefflera

1. When propagating Schefflera by cuttings, you need to water it enough and then place it in a cool place to let it grow. During the rooting period, you must also ensure that it has sufficient water so as not to affect the development of the root system.

2. When watering the Schefflera, we should do so when we find signs of dryness in the potting soil. Never water it too much, and keep the soil slightly moist.

Overwatering of Schefflera

Excessive watering of Schefflera will cause root rot. The roots cannot absorb nutrients normally and cannot provide sufficient nutrients to the leaves in time. After a long time, the leaves will wilt and curl, which will not only affect the ornamental value of Schefflera, but may even cause the Schefflera to wither and die.

If you water the Schefflera too much, you need to stop watering, cut off the bad roots, expose it to light, constantly loosen the soil, wait for the soil to dry, and then master the correct watering method and cultivate it normally.

We can also directly change the sandy loam, and then move it to a lighted place, and wait for the leaves to gradually regain their color, then we can cultivate it normally.
