How to Propagate the Umbrella Tree | Schefflera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2020
- Hello guys! Today I am going over how to propagate your Umbrella Tree or Schefflera plants and care for your cuttings. It's a great activity to do when in quarantine and something all houseplant parents should try at some point, nothing better than a free plant right?! I've been slaving over this cutting ever since and hoping it'll all be worth it.

I'm eyeing my moms huge umbrella tree, ready to snip off a piece to bring home hahah
Omg im getting ready to take some cuttings from my grandma’s plant too haha
Haha good luck guys! 😎
Hope they roots🤣😂
I just did that ☠️😭
Ditto.
I am genuinely genuinely so happy that you provided us all with such a descriptive and well informative video regarding this particular plant! Your demeanor and patience in describing the propagation process was so spot on that a 10-year-old would be able to understand it I’m sure♥️♥️ TYSM for sharing ☺️
Aw thanks so much! It’s hard to make sense sometimes so I’m happy it’s easy to follow haha
Best level of quirk and plant passion. Subscribed. 😂
I've started doing a biology degree, aiming to specialise in plant sciences here at the University of Dundee, but I had no plants in my flat.
I got 4 random plants that I was told were easy to take care of so I could start my plant family.
One of them was the Schefflera Arboricola, but the leaves started to yellow and drop. I've gone from clueless to thinking about propagation now. 🤣😁
Thank you! ^_^
Thank you!! 😊 That's awesome you're specializing in plant sciences! I know having houseplants will probably be completely different lol, takes some time to master 😎
I also use those bags as bathroom trashcan bags. Good job promoting recycling, everyone should be doing that with those.
I received an umbrella plant as a gift from friends and family after my father passed away. I really wanted to propagate it so I could gift the generations of the plant to my mother and siblings. I've used your method before and it works really well! Thank you so much for helping me successfully keep my plant and keep it alive and thriving. Your descriptions of *why* every decision is made and which decisions are optional are very helpful. Thank you :)
Now i need a rock mug but have to secretly grab some rocks in a park when no one is looking, because i’m not paying money to buy rocks 😛
My ex is really in to collecting rocks.........when he left I found a big container full of em LOL They have really come in handy!
Hell yeah girl. I went for a walk with a ziplock I don’t give a rip who sees me 😂😂 however, the rock mug is genius lol
I’ve had spider mite infestations with these plants; nonetheless, they grow rapidly. If the plant is ever not thriving, place it in the shower and thoroughly rinse it periodically and you’ll see a marked difference. RAR Sacramento, CA 05/14/20
Sorry to hear about your spider mite infestation.. I lost my entire orchid collection to them!
Prea multa apă !!
Thank you!
I rescued my umbrella plant from a skip. Someone had thrown it out, I guess because it wasn't looking to healthy. I repoted it, pruned it back and just stuck the cuttings back into the soil. I didn't really know what I was doing. Lol. Having said that, all the cutting grew despite a lack of attention on my part. That was years ago and I now have some really nice specimens.
As long as you don't over water it, this plant is pretty indestructible. I keep mine in darker areas of my house where most other plants struggle to survive. I let the soil really dry out before watering. If you see the leaves suddenly drouping, water it immediately, but once again be careful not to let it sit in saturated soil.
I just cut sections and pull off a few bottom leaves and jam them straight into the soil outside (zone 9b). They never die. They always flourish. They are excellent privacy plants.
Just found your page and it was very helpful! Your humor made the nerves of chopping my plant up ease for sure! Thank you!
I’m so glad thank you!! I know it’s a scary thing, so happy I ease the pain 😂
I used a rooting hormone and stuck the cutting directly in the soil and it did great.
I know this video was out 3yrs ago. But this was great!! And you're freaking adorable!! So quirky and amazing! This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!!
Hey I was your 6 thousandth subscriber. Woot woot
I love watching this. it makes it so easily accessible for people that are trying to do plants on a budget and you make it funny. thank you for not being an annoying AF youtuber. this was all i needed for a subscribe.
Like, I love that you love plants but I think I actually just love you!? You're HILARIOUS. Totally subscribing.
My heart is exploding in a positive way 💃Thank you so much!!❤️So glad you enjoy!!
Thanks for helping me learn about trimming my poor overgrown plant and making me laugh at the same time lol
You're a good seed, pun very much intended.
haha I am a massive fan of puns and that was very much appreciated - thank you!! So glad it helped!! 😊
The thing with plastic bag worked for me, after 3 weeks it is rooting and i can see white bulgy spots on the stems that are inside of water. It was standing by the window where it gets around 2 h of direct sunlight and around 3 h of indirect brightness. Thank you ! (Also I live in a cold climate and my big schefflera is doing fine inside with occasional evening cold air coming from outside )
That's great! Yes these guys definitely respond best in the plastic bag I think from what I've heard in the community, other than air layering - let me know how the cutting turns out once you transplant it! And glad your schefflera is withstanding the cold, this plant is one of the tougher ones for sure 😎
Thank you for this info. I watched 5 other videos on pruning this plant before I came across your channel, to finally actually see exactly where to cut. Plus, your quirkiness is a cute addition to the information you provide :) SUBSCRIBED!
I am honored, thank you!! So happy this is helpful
that noise you made at 5:12 made me laugh out loud lol thank you for the great tutorial!!
Haha I make awkward/weird noises constantly in regular life too lol - so glad you enjoy them!! 😄 thanks for watching! ❤️
@@Macksimize100 Such an accurate noise though XD
Thanks for the video.
Apart from being informative, your comedic delivery is absolutely on point.
Hahaha! I busted out laughing when you kept snipping the scissors with your "losing it comment" 😅 thank u for that!
great how-to! Plant propagation is tough most of the time. I guess that is why it is best to take multiple cuttings. It would be nice if there was 100% success rate but that ain't gunna happen.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you!! Yeah propagating plants is never guaranteed which SUCKS - but that's the name of the game unfortunately 😎
You are so funny with your expressions! I love it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. Great info and entertainment. I adore you!
Aww thank you!! So kind 😊❤️
I used the plastic around my cutting and the roots sprouted in six days.
Yes that's a great technique! Glad it worked 😊
Could you elaborate please!?
One minute in and I already love you haha thanks for the entertaining video. Most people are boring
Aw thank you!! ☺️
Loved your tutorial lol. I felt like I was watching myself, so no need to correct neef lodes lol. I totally get you sister. I also see where they tell you just to do a ONE leaf cutting. I wanted to take a fair size stock off my huge house plant (approx 6 ft tall and lopsided due to northeast lighting ) and root it for my daughter. Fingers crossed!
Thank you for watching!! Neef lodes is just the new way to say it now 😂 but 6 feet tall! That sounds incredible and an awesome gift, my mom just gave me a bunch of rooted cutting and it's honestly the best gift 😄
How did it go? I just bought one of these and hopefully i can keep it alive
Thanks for the great video. I've been completely unsuccessful at propagating my schefflera, but maybe I was doing the neef loads wrong.
Haha exactly - You gotta get the neef loads just right! 😂
Lolllll.
@@Macksimize100 LOL, I had to replay to catch it, 'cause you're just speaking my language!
Omg I'm only 1 minute into the video (this is the first I've watched from this account) and I already love you 😍! I love your face, your decor, your confidence, your whole vibe ❤ I really want you to be my bff. Omg you're the first influencer that I actually what to meet irl! I would make a poster and scream for you on the red carpet. You are officially my new favorite person. I'm gonna binge all your videos rn ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for this video. I've been wanting to propagate mine for so long cause it is so tall and leggy. I cut off a pretty big piece and took off some of the lower stems and wrapped it in the wet paper towels with a plastic baggy. Now she's sitting near a south-facing window. Fingers crossed this works!!
Yay sounds like you're doing all the right things! Let me know how it turns out 😊 Thank you for watching!!
Watching from here in Switzerland .my place has a lot of plants and you show tip and good information about cutting .thank you for sharing
Wow I’ve never propagated like that before you’ve taught me something new. Much easier way I will say is what you just showed me because the way I did it several years ago I thought I was gonna pull my hair out I almost did and since then the tree has quadrupled in size and I’ve got to clean it up but I think I’m gonna do your way better. I had cut it just from the sides and had about 100 150 different leaves all over the place and I route of them just fine no problem I think I lost one out of the bunch but I will put it straight into water within four or five days most all of them had route some took about seven days but that’s how I sell my plants and it’s quick and easy as long as they have the right amount of sun which they do they were pretty much route anytime you just throw them in water has to be filtered though it’s better to be filter I should say they’re pretty hearty. Thanks for showing me this though
You rock Mack. Very informative, easy to relate to, and fun to be with, the way 'real' should feel (hey, that rhymes!).
My wife is in keen with the plant, she love to plant, I will subscribe you.
oh man i had no idea that it was this easy to propagate it. thanks!
Oh man in so afraid to cut iiiit. My umbrella plant is just ONE TALL main beautiful branch, not voluminous like yours...but I'll give it a try cuz I want another one, they are just so amazing and easy to care for. Btw found your channel in Pinterest and already a fan.
Aww thank you! I am honored you enjoy my weird channel haha - if you're too afraid to cut it (which I completely understand lol) you can try air layer propagating it! I made a video about that recently and I do an example on my umbrella tree as well 😊
Mines just one single branch as well, did you cut yours? Is it ok? I’m scared to do cut mine but it’s touching the roof and I want it to become a bushy bushhhhhhh!
@@manikyn that sounds like it’s time to get snipping and plant a bunch! 🌱🪴
I did and then I got super emotional and wrote a song about it.
Sameee! But mine has spider mites so hopefully I can treat it and then snip it somewhere 😭
It’s late, I’m tired, I don’t know how I found this video but I giggled and snorted the entire time and now I’m propagating an umbrella tree tomorrow 😂🙃🫠🪴
Hey Miss Mac.....😂 you almost gave your self a free Covid hair cut with your wild Edward scissors hands. You are so funny 😂😂 thanks for the help on the umbrella plant. Sacramento, California
(Sac-town)
Haha thank you!! I know I got crazy eyes for a second there! 💇♀️😂
Perfect! Clear, utterly bonkers, right up my street. NOTE:- the plastic used in carrier bags causes a problem at recycling centres because it is the wrong kind of plastic for rubbish collection (garbage). Makes no sense to me either, but use 'bin' bags in bins. Different plastic which they can collect and reuse/recycle. If you have too many shopping bags, ( I have them all over, pockets, car, glovebox, rolled up and secured with a hair tie, and use them till they are NFG) in the uk there is at the bigger stores usually a collection point for them. Then they can be processed correctly.
Good job on the video! cheers!
I took two cuttings off of a tree from my work place and tried water propagation. One of the cuttings fell apart in my hands when I went to do a water change today. I’m now trying the soil method with the other cutting. Fingers crossed it works!
Oh nooo, I've lost so many cuttings in all my attempts, that's part of the game, just keep trying all the methods until you find one that works! :)
Оооооооо
Mine never recovered from repotting and became leggy only three leaf palms left.. going to propagate and start over. TY for this video
You are hilarious. I immediately subscribed. 😆
Thank you!! I am honored 😎❤️
I love your humor
Thank you! 🙌 omg that’s the ultimate score right there! Congrats haha
Thank you. I'm going to try this. ❤
I have a few leaves/branches that I got from my mum's umbrella trees (she has a big one and a small one) and some from the zoo funnily enough. I didn't break or cut them off, just took ones that had already broken
One has already rooted quite well, one just started rooting yesterday, and I'm still waiting on the others
They're all in water btw
Could you do an update video? I just noticed that my Umbrella Plant has TONS of nodes at the very bottom of the stem, my umbrella plant is very very young when I bought them from the store and I’ve always wanted to propagate them. I realized they were nodes on the stem AFTER I had propagated a ton of pothos! My umbrella plants grows so much since it’s been in direct sunlight and it grows roots nonstop, one of my friends told me that you can cut the new roots and propagate them that way but I’m not too sure if it’s true and if it works. But I’d like to see how your original Umbrella Plant is growing from where it was cut and how your new propagated plant is doing!
Hello! Yess I will def make an update video as soon as I see any roots coming at me ! That's amazing your plant has lots of nodes and roots growing! Direct sun is amazing for this guy. You can definitely cut a piece of the tree off if there is a root attached and it should take off without any issues! 😊
You are delightful and I really enjoyed learning from you. Thank you for this video. I have a spindly rather ugly schefflera and am going to attempt this!
Thank you!! Definitely try this method out so your plant can end the spindly-look😊
I literally only subbed cause you are hilarious and totally made my day. Thanks 🙃
Oh my gosh this makes me so happy - thank you for watching and subbing!! 😊⭐️
you’re so funny, and very helpful thank you!!🤍🌱
I came to find you again as my umbrella plant is now 22 feet, yes FEET long .....going up to the ceiling then across my north facing window to the other side of the room. Sadly where it crossed the window some leaves got burnt pretty bad so ive decided to cut it and propagate it. I felt like i was committing murder as i cut it😢
My daughter ended up with two plants and now i have three. But it was torture to trim up the granddaddy😢
Thanks again...love your video
Wow, what all did you do for it to thrive so well? 😮
I can't stop saying 'neaf load' now... 😂
LOL I’m on month 2 of propagating my umbrella tree in water and this just cracked me up. My “roots” have looked fuzzy for a solid month. She might just not have the will to live but I’ll give her more time before sending her to the graveyard. Good luck y’all.
Lol yeppp she takes her sweet time - patience is key!! 😊 but once you see a root definitely try popping it in soil 👍
@@Macksimize100 OKAY SO I DID A THING. It is variegated, so I was keeping it in a really sunny spot (its in a glass bottle) and then one day I saw that you should use a container that blocks the sun from the roots. So, I moved it into a less sunny spot and literally within a week huge roots POPPED out. I am going to throw it into soil this weekend
Great job, and I love your style. Thank you!
U are a queen and I love you
... moved into a rental house about a year and a half ago.... there is an umbrella tree, left to destroy the world, growing about 6 metres high like, literally, right next to the house... also yea... got my rock mug! thanks b
oh gosh there's nothing more powerful than a large umbrella tree, it'll probably still be there long after we die 😂 oh and YESSS so glad you have a rock mug too 😎💃
Loved this video lol your personality is so great!!! This was super helpful also. It’s my favorite plant and I’m learning how not to kill my plants. I use the blossom app since I don’t know when to water all my babies hehe
Aw thank you!! So glad you enjoyed, it’s the best feeling when you’re finally getting the plants to thrive
😂😂😂the extra text with the commentary is so funny
I love your personality!
Thank you!! I am honored you think so 🙌
Love your videos ❤
I love keeping bonsai sticks in water ! They grow so much faster😁
One of the few plants that have failed 100 percent for me.
OH I feel your pain, I've tried several times to propagate one of my philodendron and she simply refuses 🤷♀️
They are sooo easy to take care of
Same! I've watched so many videos this morning that start with 'this is the easiest plant to care for', 'great for beginners and my gangly schefflera is literally sitting next to me all 'haha no mate'.
Same here, sadly.
They said that it is 1 of the easiest plant to propagate but it's totally a scam.
I've been trying to propagate this for a year but still no luck.
I've tried water and soil propagation but nothing.
Even dip it in a rooting powder and i even tried soaking it in a liquid rooting hormone.
I will try this method today though.
Puttjng it in a plastic bag. Wish me luck 😂🤣
First video I watched on this channel. 4:31 and 5:08 made me subscribe 🤣🤣🤣
I have a rock mason jar, lol.
That was an awesome vid though, many thanks for the tutorial!
oooo a rock mason jar sounds even cooler, maybe I need to pivot into the rock jar life 😂 thanks for watching!! Glad it was helpful 😊
Just what I needed to know. Thank you for sharing !!
I love the way you roll your eyes! And your weird faces.
Hello mam... It is always nice to see all your videos. Mam my schefflera plant soil have lots of ants in it, i am worried if it harms my plant. I have put some turmeric and Cennemon power in soil but doesn't show any change, so it will be great if u help.
Secondly mam i have only two points in my plant from where new buds are coming, so is it okey? Bcz it doesn't make my plant bushy.
Well.... if this works I will be very much surprised and delighted. I have tried all those methods and nothing worked. In my research I found that the only way to propagate a schefflera is to air root. Please keep us updated.
I know it’s frustrating when they don’t work! My friends have tried these and it worked for them?! I think it just depends on the plant, I was actually thinking of making a separate vid on how to propagate by air layering - will keep you guys posted! 😊
How do you air root
I made a video a couple weeks ago on how to air layer propagate the umbrella tree! 😊 you can find it on my channel page 👍
Very informative and entertaining video! Thanks!
Put a cutting in water in july after watching this video. Now it has a lot of roots! Took a long time before they even started showing, and now I even have two cuttings that are rooting :D
Nice! Yeah it truly takes A WHILE but patience is key in the plant game 😂
im trying this currently
Your channel is awesome.
Keep it up.👍
Thank you so much!!
Thanks. I hate youtubers but you seem like a normal person. I just got my first schefflera and he's growing nicely. He's 13" in a 9" wide pot. How big should I let him get before I take some cuttings?
Dont try this. It turned my cuttings brown & they keep dying.
I propagated my schefflera easily by placing the cuttings in water & changing the water twice a week.
It doesn’t have to be complicated or ugly, just take a small bundle & place them in a glass jar.
Ohw my goodness. Just found your channel. tryna save a dying, possibly infected Umbrella Tree. Totally enjoy your character, sound effects and the content of course. But you're pretty fun to listen to and watch.
Aw thank you! I hope you can at least propagate your umbrella tree if it’s on its last leg 😬 but hoping you can save it!
I love your channel
Ok, so forgive me for not having proper terminology. I have a ton of plants that are all thriving surprisingly but know nothing about most. My umbrella tree is soooo tall and I’m scared to cut it to shorten it fearing that it will die. Where you cut yours is higher up where the leaves are nice and fluffy. I’d like to cut mine where it’s thicker but has no leaves. Make sense???? Like the torso of the plant 🤷🏻♀️😝 if i do that will it still grow roots and be ok?
@Macksimize I have inherited a very tall Schefflera which has very few branches/leaves at the bottom. Is there a way to encourage it to grow new branches in the middle? Thank you for any advice
Does it hurt the original plant if I cut one tip off to propagate it? We have a quite old one which doesn't look so fresh anymore, which I would like to revive because it's been in our family for so long... but I don't want to risk completely killing it.
Please ive tried everything ive got cutting from a 30 year old rubber tree. I watched this video tried all methods and leaves are falling off no roots. I really want this to work ill try anything!
Would I be able to cut further down or does it have to be closer to the top?
Hello, I succeeded in rooting it within two months, but it hasn't given a single branch since last six months. Please guide me.
WE DONT CARE IF IT LOOKS "UGLY" its alive and i claim all living plants as my babies.
What if I just grabbed a leaf off of one these plants, could I still grow a full plant from that?
......this gal is the life of the party
I propgated two pieces and they did great for a year but now they are sad and pale.. 😢 luckily I have the mother in my office.
You are hilarious lol... I'm gonna try this
My big Schefflera just refuses to live so I'll try to propagate it as a last restort before throwing it away... thank you for the helpful video!
What did youdo to grow it big in the first place?
Hi - Wondering if you can help me with a large schefflera that was at my place of work that I adopted and now brought home. It's in a 10 inch pot and is incredibly rootbound. There is a loop of root coming out of the top of the soil that is at least 1 inch in diameter. When I take this out of the pot, should I attempt to disentangle some of the roots? Should I cut any? Really enjoy your videos and you were the first person I thought of when I brought this baby home. Thanks!
Wondering if you might know! I successfully rooted two Schefflera leaf stems in water (it took months). I had nothing to lose since they broke off when my plant blew over. Once the roots were about 3"-4" long, I planted them in soil. It is now a year later and they look the same as when I planted them. No growth, no change whatsoever. Any idea what's going on (rather, what's not going on) with this? :D
There needs to be a node on the cutting. Propagating just the leaf stems without additional nodes (where new growth can push through) will result in a leaf being just a leaf forever.
Get out of here
My umbrella plant is looking awful “and I don’t know if it can be saved. It is very important to me. There is only one tall stem and that is turning dark and the leaves are sagging and falling off. PLEASE HELP don’t know if I can propagate it now when it is in such bad shape and my peace Lilly’s look awful too. I usually have great luck with almost all plants. I’ve had them for a little over a year. They were fine till the last few weeks. HELP.
you're the best... great video. thank you so much!
My umbrella plant leaves are turning yellow .. where the problem is?
I know we talking about umbrella plants but someone help me my peace which I love so much it’s lilies turned brown black all the way through there roots will I ever see my lilies again 🤔
I have a rock mug! LOL And a broken pottery container!
haha LOVE it - rock mug people gotta stick together 😎
Can I just say that besides helpful I found your video to be HI-LARIOUS? We could 100% be friends
I am honored you think so 😂 thank you for saying that!! 🙌
The amount of times I LOL’ed is uncountable 🤣 this is the exact type of energy I needed to prop this plant ☂ 🪴 I absolutely subscribed so I can numerously LOL at more videos 🪴
Aww thank you so much!! So happy you finally propagated your plant too ☺️
I'm trying to save a plant that is two sticks about 3 ft long, and only one of them has leaves on it. This thing belongs to someone else who got it from her mother's funeral so I'm trying to save it. Will it grow from an empty stem as long as I cut it low enough to get green stem?
Wow 3 feet is a good height! I think if you trim it back like you said, that could trigger new growth! I know when I cut mine back three new stems grow from the cut area, so I hope that works out! And as hard as it can be, patience is key with plants 😊 Might take a WHILE to see growth 😂
My boyfriend just gifted me my first Schefflera she's variegated and so beautiful
Oh my gosh I LOVE the variegated Schefflera, your boyfriend is a smart man 😂 - So those offshoots might be stemmed from the mother plant, hard to say without looking at it, but the only way to know is to take the plant out of the soil and check - you can check without harming the plant just be very gentle with the root ball as you do it! You can easily separate the babies if they have their own root system separate from the mother stem if that makes sense, then gently cut them off and pot them up in their own house/pot
Helpful, thank you x
Awesome information in this video, thank you!
So glad it helped! Thank you!!
