Cultivation methods and precautions of Schefflera

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Slightly acidic soil is more suitable for its growth, and drainage performance must also be taken into consideration. You can choose leaf mold or peat soil, and then add river sand, which will make it more breathable and conducive to drainage. If repeated watering makes the substrate alkaline, you can apply some acidic substances to improve it.

2. Light: It prefers partial shade and only needs about 4 hours of sunlight a day. When the light conditions are suitable, the color of the leaves will become brighter and more beautiful. In spring and autumn, pay attention to more exposure to sunlight, but in summer, you need to block out excess sunlight.

3. Temperature: It is most suitable to maintain the temperature at 15 to 25 degrees. If the temperature is very low in winter, leaves will fall off, so you need to keep warm.

4. Watering: There are certain requirements for water. In spring, summer and autumn, water it every 3 to 4 days. When the weather is dry, you can spray water around to increase the humidity. In winter, pay attention to controlling the application of water, and do not water too much to cause water accumulation in the pot.

2. Precautions

When caring for it, the pot needs to be changed once every spring.
