More and more people enjoy raising flowers, and flower enthusiasts are also increasing their demands for home gardening. In addition to choosing based on the plant's appearance and personal preferences, many flower enthusiasts also want the plants they care for at home to have the good meanings of beautifying the environment, purifying the air, and even attracting wealth and blessings. The Schefflera introduced by us today can meet all your needs.
Schefflera is a common green plant in home gardening, not only evergreen but also very effective in purifying the air. It also has a very auspicious name, "Wealth from All Directions." I believe no flower enthusiast would refuse such an implication. Let's quickly take a look at the precautions for caring for Schefflera together!
No matter what plant we are raising, the first thing we need to understand is of course its growth habits. The environment for caring for Schefflera must be warm, with a temperature range of 15 to 25 degrees being the most suitable. Never let it drop below 5 degrees. At the same time, ensure sufficient scattered light and good ventilation conditions so it can grow healthily.
However, many flower enthusiasts often encounter the phenomenon of yellowing leaves when caring for Schefflera. In fact, this is because the lighting conditions are not reasonable. For caring for Schefflera, we only need to ensure sufficient scattered light. In the spring, autumn, and winter seasons, the light is relatively soft, and it can also be exposed to about 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. Never place it under strong sunlight or in a dark environment, as it is very prone to yellowing or even shedding leaves.
How to care for Schefflera to make it more vigorous
1. Soil Environment
No matter what plant you are raising, choosing the right soil is very important because soil is the environment in which roots depend on for survival. Therefore, we must choose loose, fertile soil with good drainage to avoid damage to the roots caused by soil waterlogging. We should also strictly control the amount of watering and follow the principle of watering thoroughly when dry.
Keep the potting soil slightly moist, and never let it lack water too much, as this can easily lead to dry and falling leaves. Flower enthusiasts in the north need to pay special attention. The water in the north is more alkaline, so when watering, add a vitamin C tablet to the water. Otherwise, long-term use of alkaline water can cause soil compaction, which is not conducive to the growth of Schefflera.
2. Fertilization
Plant growth is inseparable from nutrients, and Schefflera itself prefers fertilizers. Therefore, if you want it to grow more vigorously, nutrients must not be lacking. Generally, a balanced compound fertilizer or a fertilizer rich in nitrogen elements is used, or you can apply a few slow-release fertilizers around the edge of the flowerpot, which will gradually seep into the potting soil with water.
