Can Schefflera chinensis be exposed to the sun?

Schefflera can be exposed to the sun. It has a strong adaptability to light and can grow well in a full-sun environment. Therefore, it can be exposed to the sun.

Schefflera growth light

Schefflera is a light-loving plant. When caring for it, it needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light. However, it also does not like an environment with too strong light. If it is exposed to strong light for a long time, burn spots will appear on its leaves. In severe cases, the entire leaf will turn yellow.

Schefflera does not like an overly dark growing environment. If it lacks light during maintenance, it will cause it to grow too tall, and the leaves will lose their luster and become darker. Therefore, it is best to place it in a place with sufficient light for maintenance, which is more conducive to its growth.

What to do if Schefflera chinensis wilts in the sun

Schefflera has a certain degree of shade tolerance, but is not sun-tolerant, so if it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it will be sunburned and wilt. It needs to be moved to a cool place in time and watered to help it recover. If any leaves are sunburned, they need to be cut off.
