How to grow Schefflera in winter

1. Do not water heavily

When raising plants in winter, you must first pay attention to the amount of watering. Do not water too much at one time. It is best to keep the growing soil slightly dry and water it once a week. If you water it too much, the roots will rot easily and the plant will be frostbitten, so be sure to control the water.

2. Light intensity

The sunlight in this season is relatively weak, so the plants need to be placed in a place with sufficient light, with at least 4 hours of sunlight a day. The most suitable place for maintenance is near a window indoors, which is warm and can see the sun, which is very beneficial for its wintering. Avoid keeping it in a dark place.

3. Fertilization frequency

The growth rate of the plant is very slow at this time, and generally no fertilizer is needed in severe winter, but liquid fertilizer should be applied once before winter to increase the plant's ability to resist cold. If the breeding temperature is suitable, you can also apply fertilizer once a month, but be careful to use a smaller amount.

4. Keep warm

If you are growing flowers outdoors, you should move them indoors as soon as winter comes. Allow it to grow in a slightly warmer place above 5°C, and then grow it outdoors when it gets warmer outside in spring.
