- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2018
- Join me today as I share great tips on caring for the Schefflera Arboricola Plant. The Schefflera is a great plant for any home or office. It's leaves have the appearance of an umbrella shape giving it the nickname, umbrella plant. Just follow my simple instructions and you will have a thriving and beautiful plant for many years. One correction: This plant outdoors can reach 10-15 feet tall or more. Pruning indoors will keep your plant at the size you desire. Thanks for watching! Donna Joshi

I have well over 10 now. They like what we like temp wise. In the winter time I water maybe once a month and run a humidifier or mist them daily. They propagate so easily I give them away like most people do with spider plants.
They have been my favorite since I was a kid and watched the show "Under the Umbrella Tree".😊
I had one years ago. I just got a new one. It is so root bound. I’m trying to wait a few weeks before repotting because this is the fall...I really don’t think I can wait until next Spring. Wish me good fortune😀
Hows it holding up
My advice to anyone with these plants is to keep the soil dry. They're pretty indestructible but soggy soil will kill them. I let the soil dry out and then give them a light watering once every few weeks. If you see the leaves are sagging a bit, add water.
Your video was very helpful to me as explanatory. Thank u❤
Thank you!! Just bought one. Needed care advice.
I just bought another shuffle are I had one a few years ago but it died going to try again to get it to grow thank you for the advice
I have 3 in 2 different pots they were at one time 6 in 1 pot I separated and repotted them They have done very very well during the summer however lately one of them has been developing a few brown leaves possibly from inconsistent watering great information thank you
Thanks for the info. I'm going to go repot mine now. I have kept it too wet. Thanks for saving my plant!
It appears both locations will be ok. Remember not to overwater especially in the bathroom. I have mine in a South window with bright indirect sunlight. :)
Awesome tips, I have 2, they are doing great...thank you for the info😁👌🏾
I have this plant for the last 3 years in my kitchen I must say is very reliable plant they doing well
My husband turned the AC on to freezing and now my poor plants leaves are getting black spots and falling off!! I think it got cold shocked! Had to move the plant away from the colder rooms. Just hoping it can recover! Thanks for the video
Hi dear how to propagate this plant ? please advice and why my plant isn't growing tall or shouting new leaves at the top ? And what lengths to prune to make it busy look ? Please make a video on this all topics thank you
Aisha Begum to propagate cut off the growing tip of one of the branches, then strip off all but the top two leaves. Dip the cut end in Miracle-Gro® FastRoot1® Dry Powder Rooting Hormone and stick it 1 to 2 inches down in a small container filled with moist Miracle-Gro® Indoor Potting Mix. Be sure to keep the soil consistently moist as the cutting grows. To help your plant bloom you need to prune just a little. 😊
I live in a cool temperate zone (Melbourne Australia) and have planted one of these ("Madame de Smet" variety) in our rainforest garden today, as it is mid-spring. I am hoping to keep it going in the garden bed in spring, summer and early autumn then lift it from the garden and containerise it for the winter in a greenhouse. What do you think of this plan? I love the look of it in the garden.
Beautiful plant
I live in PA. I have had my umbrella for decades but it never really looked healthy. I just kept trying because it never actually died. It is the healthiest ever now that I have it squished in a corner of my kitchen at my big picture window. My Mom never covered that window and I don't want to either. We like the view. So it gets full and bright morning sun. Also, I put it into a large, deep pot a couple years back. I don't remember why I did that unless I knew it was getting root bound. So it is on wheels to clean around it. But I have had no leaf loss and it has gotten even fuller and lusher. This is the first ever for those conditions.
That's amazing! Mine is in a south window and doing wonderful, too! Check out my latest video if you like. :)
Mine started out well in late Summer but then Winter hit, and the room is dark and cold. Many leaves went almost black and dropped off. I relocated it into a warmer spot, in the bathroom next to a window. It's hanging on but a lot of leaves are still blackening and dropping. Hope it recovers in Spring, or I'll salvage some healthy tips for propogation.
It is also best to cut back on the water by around half. It should do better when Spring gets here. :)
I have a Schefflera Tree. It is 7 ft. and I need to know how to prune it. Thank you.
Cut about a half-inch above where a leaf is attached on the stem. Use hand pruners.
Can you move it around like indoor and outdoor to get more sunlight but in the shade.
Yes... I have found this plant to be pretty resilient. It is one of my favorites. As long as it is not getting direct sunlight and has adequate water it should be fine. 😊
Do you recommend putting rocks at the bottom when reporting so it can allow for drainage of your pot doesn’t have a whole a the bottom?
Kaitlin Jones put 75% perlite the rest any light potting soil
I have one in my apartment I clean them up and I have itchy hands , I didn’t know I get itchy from this plant thanks for information.
"While they make fantastic indoor trees, schefflera plants develop calcium oxalate crystals. These crystals tend to be a major irritant both to people and to animals.
Most people have limited issues with skin irritation. On rare occasions, it may cause an itchy rash, but most people seem to be unharmed. For safety’s sake, I still recommend using a quality pair of work gloves when you’re pruning. Wash thoroughly if you get any sap on you."
Just saw this online, although I know you asked this a long time ago!
شكرا
What to do if my tree is turning into wood at the bottom?
It sounds like it isn't getting enough water. Try increasing a little. You can even try misting your plant. :)
i have one and i would want to ask if you can show a video in how to prum it that can grow straight up? the reason i ask is beasue ive prum on or two and it is growing like a cruve way..? let m e know ok thank you.
I turn mine around facing the sun every few days and it grows straight.
I just bought one. Haven’t watered it since the soil is still moist. But the leaves are constantly dropping. It’s in my living room where it gets light but not directly. Any ideas?
If it's dropping leaves it's most likely been over watered. Don't worry. Let it dry approximately a week especially if it is still wet. I don't know what size plant you have but, I would water approximately 1/2 cup water weekly if you have a 6 to 8 inch pot. If smaller 1/4 to 1/3 cup weekly and if bigger than 8 inches approximately 3/4 to 1 cup weekly. I hope this is helpful to you. They really don't like too much water. :)
Thanx for your advices. Pls tell me how to propegate this plant
Can these plants live outdoors ?
All plants grow outdoors not indoors. There is actually no thing as ‘houseplant’. Basically, plants that grow in shade outdoors in nature is what we bring indoors and call them houseplants.
What room temperature should be maintained for this plant?
They like what we like temp wise in my experience.
Hi thanks for the video I purchased one and have lost a lot of leaves that’s turned black I have it in a bright light room far away from the window it’s sitting beside my ZEZE plant so I know it’s a good distance away from the window but it’s still getting bright light many people have been saying that it likes to be dry but not too damp confused as all outdoors
As long as it is moist to the touch it should be fine 🙂
Can you replant cuttings from the pla t with root tone.
I have not tried it but, it would be worth trying. I would be interested to know how it turns out.
I have one.wanting the variated one.had mine about 2 years.from nz
Great information. My plant did beautifully over the spring summer, but I brought it in for the winter and experienced leaf turning brown and dropping. I have it by the patio doors for light. Is it reacting to the transition?
It sounds that way. Go less on water as well. It should adjust as long as it gets good light. :)
I've had the plant for many yrs ,but it doesn't seem to grow. What do I need to do to help it grow?
wooow so beautiful
where are you fron mam
Hi - how do it cut the plant without damaging? Mine is touching the ceiling in my kitchen 😬
How to make Scheffleara steam strong?
With all the above advice your plant should do very well. :)
How to get regrow this along woody stem
You might try pruning or cutting it low. This can help stimulate new growth. Also, adding a new plant with it would help it look better. Maybe try repotting it with another plant. :)
Hi. I need help my plant is sheeding really bad. I did move it abouta month ago. At first it did really well then shedding really bad. 😟
Mine has two branches that are long and the are starting to grow out to side - floppy. What do I do?
So lucky I had many of this for free😅♥️
My plant is stagnant what to do?
If you mean it is getting any bigger and grows very very slowly, then i have the same problem! Tips welcomed :-)
Thanks for the info. I plan on buying one today.You mentioned some insects,Do that natural attract the insects or comes from being outside I really like this plant you the only one that gave me more details information I was looking for.
Yes they can attract insects inside also. I like to spray every couple of months with a simple insecticide soap and water. 😊
Spray just the plant / leaves or the soil too ?
My schefflera plant is losing leaves very much i don't know why 😢
I water it once a week 300 ml
isn't it okay ?
Note: iam a beginner in growing indoor plants 🙈🙈
Moving a schefflera plant to a new location can cause stress and leaf drop, which can last for several weeks. To minimize leaf loss, try placing the plant in a bright location with average indoor temperatures and humidity levels. I hope this helps. 😊
@@DonnaJoshi thank you I will try this💗💗💗
I plan on planting two rows of the Arboricola to create a future hedge. How much spacing should be between each plant planted?
4-6 feet is a general rule. :)
I forgot to mention that I have lived in three houses over these years. All in the NE. But different light conditions. Though I would summer this on my front porch in the summer. But that never made much change. I should have the original pathos plants, but I did not know how to move with them. I should have my spiders, too. But I got tired of them and let them die. I am trying again with pathos and aloe. Pathos is doing well. Aloe wasn't doing well all winter, so I planted it outside under a tree. It did not do well all summer until I started giving it acidic water for 11 days. Now ten babies are growing up. I will have to bring it in and pot it for the winter. I bought some plants in gallon size containers yesterday. Can I use a gallon size pot for that when I bring it in> Or is it too deep?
If you can keep it in the same container that would be best and transfer in spring. If not put in same size container right away. :)
I got one 2 weeks ago. But the top leaves are getting droopy. What should I do?
When this happens it usually needs more water. Increase just a small amount more. :)
One of my stems is hanging vertically. Is that normal?
I think it's pretty normal for this plant to grow in many directions. As long as the stem looks and feels healthy I think it should be ok.
@@DonnaJoshi Thank you for the advice. I really like this plant. I’m hoping it will grow to be a little bigger/taller and fuller.
I repotted my plant, and now most of my top leaves are brown and droopy. What should I do. I think I over watered it. I received it when my Mom passed. I really want it to live. 😢
It's ok it happens. Let it dry a bit. Water when approximately 1 inch dry under soil but, not completely dry. Put it in indirect sunlight near a window. It could be a bit in shock from being replanted. See how it goes in the next week. You may have to remove dead leaves. You can keep me posted and I will do my best to help you.
@DonnaJoshi Where should I cut to remove the dead leaves. Thank you for your help. This plant means a lot to me.
Without seeing it you can do 1 of 2 things. Just trim at the bottom of the leaf to remove the dead ones but, if there is a cluster trim right over the node or knot to remove several. If you want to send a picture to my email I will try to guide you. Djoshi7@aol.com
Thank you! :) 💕
My shifflera is about two feet tall and seems healthy except that it has a six inch section with no stems or leaves. What can I do?
Pruning or trimming is the only way to stimulate growth.
My Arboricola hasn’t grown since I bought it 6 months ago, and I fertilized it 2 times so far. What’s wrong with it? It’s just a small plant with small leaves.
I give mine miracle gro liquid plant food every other week. It works well.
So how do I get the leaves back that all fell off? I only have leaves on the very tops of the branches and the plant is about 3’ tall. I just transplanted it today, it has been outside all summer and hasn’t grown any leaves back. I’m about ready to throw it in the garbage, looks like some branches growing out of a pot with a couple leaves on top
Hi. I have just planted one of these plants however with other plants that have lost most of the leaves, I prune them to a stem around six inches high and keep the plant sheltered and properly watered and fed for a few weeks. Often leaves will appear from the remaining stem. However Donna will be able to provide expert advice.
We took our grand parents when they died and it grow 7 foot high and 3 foot long!
Any advice on fertilizing these plants ?
Schefflera houseplants perform best when a balanced (20-20-20) liquid fertilizer is applied monthly during growth season. Do not fertilize during winter months. :)
Dear Donna, thank you for your video! I have question for my plant... she is in a good wide pot, she had only one branch and grew very much, this year - particularly hot in the summer - she put three branches out of the only one and has difficulty to keep the leaves on these new branches alive...should I trim them? If so how? What would be your suggestion? Thanks for your time much gratitude
I would wait till Spring. Your plant is dormant right now. It may send forth new leaves then. :)
Thank you very much, wish you a nice day
Your schfflera's are so beautiful. Mine has lost the grace this summer..how to revive them back. This happens to be one of my fav plant
Mine is currently sitting in a South window with bright indirect light. I water it weekly with just 3/4 cup of water. Try to make sure these 2 things are right. This will be helpful. :)
@@DonnaJoshi sure..will do. Thanks..😊
I'm in Florida and have a tree outside. This summer it started growing some sort of fruit on it. It is shaped like a small football. Can you eat this?
Without seeing it I will not be able to answer your question. If you can send a picture to my email I will try to find out what it is. :)

Will my leaves come back
I have a larger leaf umbrella tree, I’ve had trouble dealing with the leaves turn dark colour. But started with a brown pimple. (That’s what it looks like) I use my finger nail it will comes off. Not sure what it is. Do you know what it is. I cit off all the leaves, they grew healthy but then the leaves started look old and stained. I’ve had this umbrella tree over 20 years. I done want to loose it.
Affected leaves develop small, water-soaked areas that quickly grow and blacken. Infected leaves may drop. Removing affected leaves or entire, severely-affected plants and keeping healthy, uninfected leaves dry will limit further problems. Hope this helps. 😊
Mine is turning brown. I had no idea about flouride. I got it in a funeral planter dish and just watered. I wanna save what I still have. Any tips?
Could be lack of water. General rule for this plant... 6 to 8 inch pot give approximately 3/4 cups water a week. Give liquid plant food bi-weekly and give liquid fertilizer bi-weekly. Hope this helps. :)
Please tell me how to stop my plant's leaves from turning dark brown...had it by the patio, can get hot here in California
I think it may need more water. It should do well in direct light so maybe water it more often. :)
What fertilizer you use?
Did you say fertilize once a week? Or more? You have to water before you fertilize and watering multiple times a week will kill the plant. Right? I must have something wrong. Any thoughts?
I use liquid fertilizer and plant food. One week I water with liquid plant food and the following week I water with liquid fertilizer at half strength. Works excellent! :)
Thanks for sharing your experience, I bought one few weeks ago but new leaves are turning black, Could you please advise.
This could be a number of things. First check your plant location. It prefers a sunny window with indirect light. Too much water can cause bacteria so be sure not to overwater. I have a 6inch pot in which I water 3/4 cup weekly. If you have a 4 inch water only 1/2 cup weekly and if you have an 8 inch pot water one cup weekly. Make sure there are no drafts. You also can trim the black spots. Possibly this can stop what could be fungus. Sometimes repotting will help. I use Miracle Gro twice as fast potting soil from Lowes. Hope this was helpful. :)
@@DonnaJoshi I appreciate you sharing the info but nobody should follow your watering instructions EXACTLY. We have to pay attention to the plants ourselves and observe. And most importantly, we need to LEARN how to water. We all have different growing conditions, and following someone else's guidance without question can be dangerous. Not here to bash you, i do appreciate your time sharing all this info. Just want people to know that they must put in their due diligence to understand what is happening and why.
I always cringe when persons give specific directions on any aspect of plant care. We live in different places, different home environments( dry , moist) .Just because a plant lets for example say likes moist soil in its natural habitat, doesnt mean it likes that same environment in a home environment. Hope that makes sense.
not bashing here either.
tks
One of my steams is black half way up, this was a clearance plant. T out her stems look good?
I would keep an eye on the stem. If it seems to worsen you might consider removing it. :)
@@DonnaJoshi I cut it off
Is it ok to have the plant outside in Florida, like on the Lanai, spelling??
So when does it flower ?
My plant is loosing leaves, and turned yellow. What should I do?
Cut back a bit on water. They require less in the winter. :)
I have had my dwarf umbrella tree for about 2 years now, maybe more. It is only 10-14” tall. It used to have 3 plants in the pot. But one died. I am down to 2 and those 2 look to be in good conditon. Problem is they haven’t gotten any bigger. Someone told me I bonzai’ed it by transplanting it before the roots outgrew the original plant so I repotted into the original size pot about 2 months ago. I bottom water every 7 days or so and only a little (1/3 - 1/2 cup). Based on your video I am thinking it needs more light and more frequent fertilization. Any other tips?
By repotting a couple of times I would just give it a good rest to recoup. Sit it in a nice indirect sunny place and it should be fine. Don't fertilize till spring. It is also going in its dormant stage so you probably won't see growth till spring. :)
@@DonnaJoshi thank you so much! Will do. I have some new growths lately too. So I will hold off fertilization and just make sure it gets plenty of indirect sunlight.
Hi I just bought this plant & want to know can I leave it in my bathroom with non direct sunlight & lots of moisture from bath/showers ?
Or is a dry bright spot better
it is a plant that loves bright light........ so no
Yes thank you
I suppose I wasn’t clear I have a huge window in my bathroom but I have sheer blinds I can close so to stop the direct sunlight from burning it
I have a Arboricola that I just bought. Does it bush out or stay straight out? How do I take care of this plant ?
Check my more recent videos. I did a care tips video. :)
Can we keep them inside?
Yes definitely! Just put in a window with indirect sunlight. It should do great ! :)
@@DonnaJoshi Thank you. Someone just gifted me one. 🙂
Mine is loosing a lot of leaves
mine too:(
if i prune my plant,will it fill in,its getting taller but not filling out.plz show how to dp that
Yes
Nice plant
I got mine recently, but they have been looking droopy and are losing leaves. I just want them to be happy :(
I have mine sitting in a South window. I give it water one week and plant food the next week mixed in water. I give 3/4 cup. :)
What do you do when stems start drooping?
Could be over watering. I have one in a gallon bucket and only give 1 cup per week of water.
My leaves keep curling downward. What do I do??
This could be a sign of low light. Also, make sure it is getting enough water. :)
Can this be planted or potted as an outside plant?
Gardeners in zones 10 to 12 can grow schefflera plants outdoors in full to partial sun in moist, well-drained soil.
What does drooping or brownish green new growth mean? Also, is it better to prune to have less main stems?
It sounds like you may be underwatering. What size plant is it approximately? Also, Spring is a great time to prune. This can definitely help your plant to get new growth. :)
@@DonnaJoshi thank you. I have watched so many videos on pruning but I’m so confused. There so many branches growing off the main branches. I’m not sure can I just prune off the new growth too if it’s too busy in one spot?
@@ericastafford4877 yes it should be fine 🙂
I wish I could attach a photo to ask about some brown spots
@@ericastafford4877 here's my email
djoshi7@aol.com
My plants have white spots
Could be mealy worms. Treat with hydrogen peroxide and water using cotton swab. Separate from other plants until your plant is clear.
when to transplant
FAYE MARTIN Spring..
Hello Donna! Thank you for the video. I juts have a question, the leafs of my plant are a mix of green and yellow. Is this normal??
It could be from over watering. On my 4-6 inch pot I use 3/4 cup water a week. Works perfectly! :)
Elizabeth, this plant also comes bicolor; i also have a bicolor schefflera, the leafs are a mix of green and yellow, and is absolutely gorgeous. Too bad i can't upload a photo here, but if you google"bicolor schefflera" you will find it out :)
@@DonnaJoshi my plant had yellow within the leaf veining.. also a few spots of yellow… it was all green so it wasn’t normal.. I took all the soil off roots and repotted.. didn’t know if it was a bug or disease..
Can i keep mine at a north sided window
Yes. That's where I have my big mama, is right in front of my big north facing window. It loves loves it!!
Thank you mam
Hi Donna thank you for the informative video! Quick question, my schefflera’s leaves are cupping upward, is this normal? What can I do to fix it
Aphids and mealybugs may appear as a result of defective growing. Spraying them with water or wiping the leaves with an alcohol wipe will rid your plant of these pests. Check to see if you see any. Continue following video instructions. Anytime you think necessary you can send pictures to my email. Djoshi7@aol.com :)
When do they flower?
What do the flowers look like? Or does it just stay leafy green?
What happens if the bottom of the plant is yellow ?
It could be you are overwatering. Allow to dry out 1 inch before watering. Don't allow the soil to be soggy. :)
Can I keeps 3 schefflera plants in a small container not too big and not very small but the container is only a little small
For a while you can. You can always transfer if needed. :)
Donna Joshi I have 3 of the schefflera plants I’m not sure if they are dwarf or not but I will be transferring it to a 9 or 10” pot is that enough to hold 3 schefflera plants? (Indoors) if not how big of a container would it need? (By inches)
@@skeso2k157 I would be guessing. I think it would be ok. :)
Donna Joshi so like a 10 inch pot is good?but it has no drainage but is a 10 inch pot good for 3?
@@skeso2k157 I would not use a pot without drainage. :)
How do I only when too repot
Once the roots start growing through the drainage holes in the pot, it is time to repot. :)
Is this plant a slow medium or fast grower?
I think personally on the medium side. Mine is in a south window and doing great!
Only water until the top what begins to drain ?
Water till it drips from the bottom. :)
@@DonnaJoshi . . . Oh . . . Thanks !
Mine has never flowered
Buy the variegated one, called Schefflera Madam de Smet (in Australia). Then the leaves provide year round colour.
Mines huge
I have a 'gold capella' it's 8ft tall in a pot in my lounge. It's starting to lean, like the leaning tower of Pisa. Can I prune it and if so how do I?
The information is good, but the camera moving back and forth constantly over the plants is very dizzying. More stills on the plants or closeups of them would have been better.
It's not going so well cuz it's too hot here 😂
How should one get it to grow vertically?
Snipping off a bit from the top will encourage growth. :)
Can theses grow into hedges
Juanita Ivey Schefflera plants are common in southern California, Florida, and in places like Phoenix. They make beautiful hedges. Thnx for watching. 😊
Donna Joshi I know they can grow into trees also
Very infomative mam,enjoyed
