I've had my Schefflera houseplant for twenty years now and still going strong. Very easy to take care of. Watering it every two weeks if I go longer than that the leaves will start to drop.
This was SO helpful!! You did such a great job explaining. I have a mini umbrella and I love it! It's been doing very well but recently I moved it to my bathroom because it seemed to be needing more light and humidity. After I did this, it started dropping leaves. I've now figured out that because it's summer now and the soil dries out so much faster, I need to be watering it a little more. The plant itself looks very healthy, just dropping a few leaves since I moved it two weeks ago. Thank you for helping me figure this out! Your tree looks gorgeous!
I moved mine indoors after it was outside during the summer, and now she's dropping leaves. I think she's mad at me. I'm not too concerned yet, but I am keeping an eye on her.
My umbrella plant started dropping WHOLE branches, not just leaves. I just repotted, moved it, and strung it up to help support it's weight and keep it from drooping. Now after watching your video I'm terrified it's going to be SUPER stressed from all the action and possibly dropped what's left. Is it possible it could regrow more stems from where they previously dropped?
I’m having the same issue and it’s stressing me out :( I love this little tree! It had been fine for years and all of a sudden starting drooping branches. I repotted and it is still happening. 😢 Any luck rescuing yours??
I have a big one I got in the mail and had it for like 3-4 months and in that time it lost bottom half of it leaves so I put it in a south facing window and it seems happy now
Great video. I currently have this issue with my varigated umbrella plant. The only thing I've changed is that I've moved it from an area where the patio door would open constantly to let our cat out. I'm thinking the draft of cold air affected it. Boy, it wasn't happy! Now I have a long stem with leaves and another stem that's bare. Wondering if the bare stem will push out any leaves?
Mine was gifted as a water propagated plant. As soon as I brought it home, leaves started yellowing and falling off. But it also has new growth. It's so confusing!
Thanks you helped me a lot. I have a huge umbrella tree at my rooftop and I don't know the water it... I am watering it twice a week is it okay or should I water it once a week? Tnx for all the help
I have a very large tree that I recently purchased. I repotted in a larger terracotta pot but used wrong soil. It started yellowing some and dropping alot of leaves. I took it out thinking it was the soil staying too moist and repotted back in same pot with tropical sandy soil. It has been dropping leaves like crazy, even whole stems full of leaves. I have decided to just leave it alone and not water at all for a bit. Any suggestions? Dropping the entire stems full of leaves has me concerned.
I bought my plant and it was kind of big and beautiful and I was so excited. Then lraves started dropping and many started turning brown. Now the entire plant is gone. I bought a smaller version and some of its leaves are turning brown and falling. I'm afraid it'll completely die like the other one. Do you think I could revive the first one and prevent the 2nd from getting worse?
I have a new plant and I believe mine is dying on me. It's losing leaves and stems. I've kept a normal watering schedule, so I don't know what's going on. The leaves and stems are turning brown and dropping like crazy. I'm going to re-pot it. Any other suggestions would be helpful!
My dwarf plant is super unwell. It's been in my family for years, and my mother gave me a portion of it, but now it's pissed off and super droopy. I don't know what to do about it.
Hi Christ, we just got our umbrella plant and l would like to know if we could use a mister to water this plant? Thank you, a quick reply would be deeply appreciated.
I'm no expert, but recently I googled care instructions for my Umbrella Tree and misting with/without nutrients was totally recommended. So I mixed in some stuff (nutrients/minerals) into the water and misted the whole plant-each and every leaf, underside and topside. She (I think she's a she) seemed to love it. If I could find any downside it's this: I live in an area with a lot of fine dust coming in the windows and because after misting the leaves are wet, I noticed quite a bit more dust on her leaves than usual. Because of this I plan on misting only once a month or so.
Got one from a friend and it is dying something terrible but she's also super crooked and mis-shappened. Can I chop it off and start to regrow it or will that doom it?
My dwarf plant tree is very skinny stemmed and growing taller not fatter in the stem and I'm concerned with how I can keep the stem straight and also how I can keep it from getting too tall because what am I gonna use to anchor it so it doesn't top all over? Don't know if I can send a picture in my comment or not.
I have had this tree for 15 years and had to relocate and my friend took care of it and the trunk is brown and the leaves are folding. Can you help it?
I just repotted my umbrella plant and is losing a lot of leaves by the whole stem I have a 14.5 Inc in length I put 2 25qt bags of miracle grow potting soil… I don’t know how much water I should give it for this size… I had this plant for 9 yrs …please help
Became sticky over winter and even floor underneath was very sticky. I sprayed with neem and it seemed to help. Now it’s dropping dark leaves. Help please.
I've had my Sheffera (umbrella) plant for a few years now and I've noticed in the past few months it started dropping it's leaves, I have a whole section that is bare now (the tallest stem), I watered it last week and it's still pretty moist. I also think it's not getting enough light, I may move it closer to my window...is that a good idea??
Mine is under a grow light and a foot back in west window. Watering isn't a issue a ton of new growth but it's even dropping new green growth?! It has a ton of new growth points because I cut the 2 main stocks end of last summer. But I feel like I can't keep it happy unless it's outside.
My umbrella tree is living on a stone! Doesn't have any soil, how do I know when it needs watering without overwatering it? I changed it's position because of my cats, but now all the leaves are drooping and some of the branches are turning brown! Help me ples 😭
Question: I have a scheflerra actinofolia I've had for about 5-6 years first four years or so it grew beautifully. But the last year or so all of the new leaves don't spread out like fans as they normally would. They come out folded back on their stems and stay that way. What is wrong with it and can I remedy the problem?
i was told that i have a hawaiian scheddlera = umbrella plant well it looks like a green twig what can i do to get it to grow leaves please help i am on the edge of trashing it lol
Does anyone know if a Schefflera exists with 3 leaves in each crown? I'm asking this because I was told I have a Schefflera, but it only has 3 leaves on each twig. To me that is not a Schefflera. I've been to plant nurseries and they tell me they don't know this plant or tell me it is a Schefflera which it is clearly not.
Im wondering if my umbrella tree has out grown its pot I think I water it enough I'm going to move it so it gets more light but this thing is not happy its dropping leaves like crazy and even healthy looking leaves are dropping I can send a picture if needed I just think it might be dying on me and it's a large plant and I want to save it I think it's angry with me 😆
Is it just me or am I hearing Him say the same things and starting to not make sense what he's saying....."I'm probably watering too much but the plant is a thirsty plant and if the leaves are falling off it's probably getting too much water" My plant's soil is partially dry\moist but not soaked but it's still have 4-5 leaves dropping and I have it in a facing window where it can get filtered light.....HELP SOMEBODY!😢😂😅
My new Variegated Schefflera is losing leaves like crazy, but at the same time I'm seeing new umbrellas forming!
I’ve had my plant for over 40 years! It is no longer “dwarf” as it is now over 6 ft tall!
I've had my Schefflera houseplant for twenty years now and still going strong. Very easy to take care of. Watering it every two weeks if I go longer than that the leaves will start to drop.
Do they brown?
@@karinarodriguez3519 no they don't turn brown but they do turn yellow. And fall off.

Thankyou it was very helpful. I will put my sunlamp on more often then twice a week.
Thank You. Good approach and insights.

What if the plant is turning yellow green ? I haven’t lost any leaves but she looks sad dropping but not falling off and yellowish stems .
Why would leaves of Umbrella plant turn Black???

This has been very helpful! What should I do if it’s lost a lot of bottom leaves and it’s kinda top heavy? Mine is very tall now 😅
To give my umbrella plant its best advantage, should I prune the bottom suckers at the trunk. And alow the nutrients 5o grow in the crown of the tree?
What about bonsai version of umbrella plant losing leaves?
I have had this tree for 15 years and had to relocate and my friend took care of it and the trunk is brown and the leaves are folding. Can you help it?

Can you tell dwarf to the regular plants
Heard you should leave the dead leaves in the soil. They say it gives the plant added nutrients?
It also can be bad for pests living in there. I would remove it 👌
Mine keeps drooping even after watering it, i am not loosing any leaves, it just keeps drooping, could this mean it’s completely dying ??
i was told that i have a hawaiian scheddlera = umbrella plant well it looks like a green twig what can i do to get it to grow leaves please help i am on the edge of trashing it lol

I think I over watered mine and the stem is turning brown can I save it?
one cup of water a week? Or more than 1 cup of water a week?
Is artificial light OK? We don’t keep our blinds open during the day for security reasons and when we’re home from work, it’s almost dark 😢
Artificial light from lamps designed for plants is fine. Regular artificial light for people is way too weak.
Im wondering if my umbrella tree has out grown its pot I think I water it enough I'm going to move it so it gets more light but this thing is not happy its dropping leaves like crazy and even healthy looking leaves are dropping I can send a picture if needed I just think it might be dying on me and it's a large plant and I want to save it I think it's angry with me 😆
How u water it?

Is it just me or am I hearing Him say the same things and starting to not make sense what he's saying....."I'm probably watering too much but the plant is a thirsty plant and if the leaves are falling off it's probably getting too much water"
