Schefflera arboricola 'Trinette'

Care at a glance

Water

Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, and allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering in winter as growth slows.

Light

Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch leaves. It can tolerate medium light, but growth may be leggy.

Humidity

Average household humidity is usually sufficient, but higher humidity is appreciated.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C).

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants.

Fertilizer

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer), and stop in fall and winter.

Toxicity

Schefflera arboricola is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and digestive upset.

Propagation

Propagate by stem cuttings in spring or summer; take 4-6 inch cuttings with several leaves and root in water or moist potting mix.
