Schefflera generally does not have a very high demand for light, so you can reduce the light appropriately when caring for it. If the light exposure time is too long, it will cause its leaves to turn yellow and wilt. In addition, the newly planted Schefflera does not need light at all. You can wait until it adapts to the environment and then give it some scattered light.

What to do if Schefflera wilts in the sun

It is very easy to remedy a problem if the Schefflera oleifera is wilted by the sun.
