Schefflera Arboricola Compacta braided trunk

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta is a compact and stylish plant, known for its braided trunk and beautiful, hand-shaped leaves. With its full, green leaves growing close together, this Schefflera has a rich, bushy appearance that adds a refined and natural feel to any space. The braided trunk makes this plant not only a vibrant green element, but also a real eye-catcher with a decorative twist.

Location

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta likes to be in a spot with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can discolour or damage the leaves, so a spot in the shade of a window is ideal. The ideal temperature is between 18°C ​​and 24°C . Avoid draughty spots, as this can harm the plant.

Water requirement

The Schefflera Arboricola Compacta has an average water requirement. Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid water standing at the bottom of the pot to prevent root rot. Allow the top layer of the potting soil to dry out before watering again. More frequent watering is necessary in spring and summer, while the water requirement decreases in autumn and winter. Occasional misting helps to maintain the humidity and ensures healthy growth.

Soil and nutrition

This Schefflera does well in a well-drained potting soil. An airy, moisture-retaining mix with, for example, some perlite ensures that excess water can easily drain away. During the growing season, from spring to summer, the plant benefits from extra nutrition. Fertilize the plant every four to six weeks with a balanced, liquid fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilization by following the dosage as directed.
