Product Description

Care & tips for the Schefflera Arboricola Compacta - 130cm

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta isn't difficult to look after. It does like a constant temperature of at least 15 degrees, though. Make sure the plant isn't standing in a draught, where it's a little more susceptible to pests and mealybugs.

How much water does the Schefflera Arboricola Compacta - 130cm need?

Lightly moist soil is best for this houseplant. In winter the soil can dry out a little between waterings. Keep a close eye on this at first and feel your way. Once you have repotted the plant, it's important to use a moisture meter!

How much light does the Schefflera Arboricola Compacta - 130cm need?

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta is happiest in a bright spot, but without too much direct sunlight. Three to five hours of sun is plenty to keep the plant happy.

Is the Schefflera Arboricola Compacta - 130cm toxic?

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta is unfortunately mildly toxic. The sap from the stem and the leaves can irritate the skin, so keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently asked questions about the Schefflera

Can the Schefflera be placed in direct sunlight?

Preferably not. Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light.

Why is my Schefflera losing leaves?

This may be due to insufficient light, excessive watering, or drafts.

Is Schefflera toxic to pets?

Yes, Schefflera is slightly toxic if ingested. Prevent pets from eating the leaves.

How large can a Schefflera grow?

Indoors, a Schefflera can grow to between 1 and 2 meters tall, depending on care and space.

Why are the leaves of my Schefflera turning yellow?

Yellow leaves often indicate too much water or poor drainage. Check whether the pot has holes, whether water is standing in the bottom, and adjust the watering schedule.

Why does my Schefflera appear to be growing in an elongated or sluggish manner?

This is usually due to insufficient light. In a location that is too dark, the plant will grow slowly and the stems will become long and thin. Place the plant closer to a window (not in direct sunlight).

Can the Schefflera be placed in a bathroom or dark room?

It is fairly tolerant and can be placed in rooms with less light, but it will grow less quickly and may become leggy. Ideally, you should choose a bright space.

How do I know when to repot my Schefflera?

• Roots are coming out of the drainage hole or lying on top of the soil.
• Growth is severely stunted; soil is depleted or compacted.
• Repot once every 2-3 years or as soon as these signs appear.

Choose a pot that is only 1-2 cm larger in diameter than the current one to avoid overpotting.
