Chapters for this video. Purchase: 01:14 Planting: 10:54 Placemant: 16:06 Care of the plant: 28:08 We hope you enjoy our videos, thank you for watching.
This dude will no doubt be put on charge of taking care of the new Garden of Eden in the next life...he is 100% the plant whisperer extraordinare!! Id love to see his personal collection,
For anyone with hard water, dusting with a brush might be a better option than showering the plant. As the water evaporates, dissolved solids will be left behind that leave a chalky layer or residue on the leaves. Thanks for the video.
I just "rescued" an umbrella plant and this video has been the most helpful I have seen so far. I have never had one before and needed a broad spectrum video, and this was perfect. Am definitely following the channel noe, thanks guys! 😊
I have watched you & your team for a couple of years. Honestly, I have watched you many times during this year just for your voice and impressive body of knowledge. Intelligence soothes me. This particular video inspired me to finally leave you a note. My Schefflera, sitting here with me is about to have a spectacular life! Thank you. Thank you for sharing your life's work with us & Thank you for your work particularly this year. I hope you and yours are healthy and continue to thrive💪 🌎 Sincerely, -L⚘
Repotted my Schefflera 6 weeks ago. The soil mix I added with the repotting (into the next size up pot) is still wet after 45 days! Thanks to this channel, I know that I can replace that poorly draining newly added soil with pumice and avoid this overly wet situation for the roots now and in the future. I might’ve lost this beautiful 4 foot tall tree without his advice. Thank you! This is a beautiful large plant that feels like a member of the family - would have hated losing it!
Your videos are just amazing. The quality of information is far beyond other plant RUclipsrs! Thank you so much for sharing. I have both an abricola and amate, and would love to learn the differences between the two! I would also love to see any videos on your business. So fascinating!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS. I just bougt Schefflera today ( I just recently bought my first plant whatsoever) and im learning how to take care of them. It would have been better to watch this video before but im so happy to find this channel!! I love it when I find precise and detailed information on what im looking for so Im gonna keep on watching.
Very interesting to know that this plant apparently has a pest problem. I legit have had this plant in my house for 20 years, it's HUGE lol. My mom bought it for me for 50 cents at the grocery store 20 years ago, and this plant has had zero pests. I mean, if it has had any, we would never know because it has flourished. Thank you for this video because for years I never knew what type of plant we had
Sir, really value your scientific approach. Yours is the go-to channel when I look for tips to take care of my city jungle at home. My sincere gratitude to your channel.
I learned so much about this plant. I don't have one because I live in a pretty dry area but now I think maybe it can survive here with a little extra effort. The various examples , such as the root-bound plant and the one needing water, were very helpful.
I have them outside. Full sun for at least 6 hours. I love them. In the philippines, we call them 5 fingers but mine normally have 7 or 8. So fast grower, i cant keep up upotting them, so i simply cut some and stick them onto soil. Now i have 6 large pots of them
Very detailed, informative and well-presented videos you have on your channel. The way you put things forth for novices and experts alike makes any plant enthusiast like me to subscribe to your channel. I have two of these schefflera varieties-one regular all green and one richly variegated. Thank you so much for the information and the care tips. Hope to be in touch with you often. Love from Nepal.
Thank you for the experience of this plant,I just bought this plant today I hope this plant will stay with me for the long time.Thank you so much for your experience.
this was very helpful. thanks a lot. I was very hesitant in cutting back my Schefflera, but it became quite tall and can't stand on its own anymore. So I guess it's about time. fingers crossed it goes well :)
Swedish PLANT GUYS you are AMAZING 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽✨✨✨✨ Thank you for sharing such gentle and passionate info on your plant journey. I would love to go to some plant events or plant swaps.
This is what a video on plants should be like!!! Great presentation, information and teaching skiills! Congratulations and good luck! Please continue sharing your videos...Mily from Florida
I've had a Nora for three years. It's such an easy plant to take care of. It grows leaves all year long (although it grows the most in summer). I never seen ONE leaf fall off. its very leafy, it has one thick stem. About 40cm tall
I have four of these plants, two dark green and two variegated. The dark green are lush and full....but the two variegated plants that have been in the same window since last winter, all of a sudden dropped almost all their leaves. I repotted, purchased a grow light for them and started using a moisture meter. Both variegated plants each have a new bud on top now so maybe there's hope yet. I almost threw them out, glad I didn't because they're coming back to life. Apparently the variegated are more sensitive. I didn't find any pests that would cause this, but I am using a neem oil spray on all of my plants now weekly just in case, and are very careful about watering. I love these videos and appreciate your channel, I've learned so much. Thank you!
I'm only about 9 minutes in. I'm loving this. Thanks so much. I have to figure out what to do with my almost 12 ft tall plant that I let get way too leggy I guess and I have to figure out how to trim it back but I wanted to let you know. Mine flowers all the time and I have tons of berries to propagate
Good video. I have Schefflera arboricola trinette, Schefflera elegantissima, Schefflera amante Alpine jr., and a varigated Schefflera elegantissima in my garden. They are slow growing shurbs and trees.
merci ! 50 minutes vidéo ! I can now try to save the plant my sister gave me. if the plant dies, there will be a price on my head! 😂 so, basically you helped save 2 lives 🙏
Today is purchased my 1st Schefflera plant ,and immediately saw ur video to how to take care of this plant .Your guidance is soooo valuable to me ,thanks alot .My good wishes for u n ur lovely family..God bless you
Wow, this is a very informative and well taught video about schefflera that I have have found out there. It seems long at the first sight, but it is all worth to listen to it all!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, great video! I have started to care for one that was my in-laws. It looks even worse than the plant at 31:30. My mother in law fell Ill and the plant went a couple months indoors with no water! The pot had no holes so that could be why it survived? My father in law had been caring for it for 40 years, and I was told it never actually looked very good. In fact, when I saw a healthy one for the first time, I had no idea it was the same plant. In fact, bless his heart, he told me it was a fig...! I sent a picture to an office here and they said it was a "very sick" arbicola. Oops! I've had it for almost 3 months. I've trimmed off all the dead stuff. There was so much! I've put holes in the pot and am purchasing perculite. What acidity does the plant like? Once I fix the basics like water, soil, and fertilizer, do you have any advice for nursing it back from the brink? Thank you!
Another great video! I have 2 Scheffleras that are probably 20 years old. Didn’t know they could bloom. That would be a nice surprise, but I won’t hold my breath! Thanks for great info!
Mine are 20 y/o this year , but are outdoor in the Spring / Summer & inside from late Oct-Nov & I will likely put them out in a week or 2 ( early April ) , here in N Ga USA . Congratz on yr old Sheffs
I need care on the big leave one you spoke of in the beginning... I was gifted a very very old one and I don't want to mess it up. Its beautiful 🪴 thank you for all of your content 🌱🌿🌱
I bought a schefflera before seeing this video However I can verify that most of the conditions at home are perfect in accordance with your recommendations in the tutorial I just wish to get it develop a lot of the multy green with lemon coloured leaves as they are quite few on the level below the top level leaves on one if the stems
I purchased my Princess at Home Depot. She looked like she was on the brink of death. I have very little knowledge on plant care. She has grown so much. I have another plant by cutting the stem from my original plant. Now , I may have a third plant. She is growing a lot. I need more knowledge on how to care for her. Thank you for the tips.
I recently bought the varigated schefflera 2-3 weeks ago.( It is a highly varigated one. ) It's tall, full and in a 6 inch pot. When I brought it home I sprayed it down with neem oil, just like I do with all my new plants. I placed the plant in front of a northeastern window. Gets an hour or so of morning direct sunlight, on part of it. I have turned the plant a couple of times to ensure even growth. I keep testing the soils moisture off and on, with my meter. It had just been watered when I bought it. The soil isn't even reading a moist measurement yet. The other day I noticed some lower leaves had dark brown dry tips. When I touched the leaves, they fell off. One of the lower stems fell off as well the next day when I touched it. Today I noticed the small new growth on top was wilting. I checked the soil moisture again. This time I used both my meters. Both gave the same measurement. I checked for pests and didn't see any. Took it out of the pot, soil smelled normal and roots looked good. So I repotted it in an 8 inch pot with some dry cactus soil, to help absorb some of that excess moisture. Other than that, IDK what to do for it. Any suggestions on how to help the plant and what would be causing this?
The same thing happened to mine when I brought it home. These are VERY delicate plants. I don't think they like the moving from one place to another (store to your home). Mine had a bunch of leaves & stems fall off. I made sure it was NOT standing in any water in the bottom "drip" pot. But now mine is thriving! Its getting big! Dark shiny leaves. Lots of umbrellas..but it took awhile to revover from the move.
Hi I really enjoy listening to your videos. Fantastic and so much detail and so beautifully explained . I would like some advice please. I had a gorgeous Schefflera Actinophylla . It’s been growing beautifully indoors for around a year now. Then we had hot weather and I decided to put it outside for sun and fresh air . It was ok at first but a few weeks in. It’s got horrible discoloured leaves. Some the then have white shady bits some of them bits of brown with some still perfect . I cleaned every leaf with warm water, there are no visible insects . Should I cut it all back and let it start again? I feel so disappointed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated . Thank you
Beautiful plant. I'll pass on purchasing lol...I live in NY where our winters are longer than our summers. Wouldn't make any sense to go through the drama lol
Fantastic video, thank you! This is one of my favorite houseplants! Mine started to have problems about a month ago - never experienced problems with these plants before.. Yellow veining, and some leaves have a slightly flushed out appearance. Even though I don't over-water, I thought maybe it's root-rot and let the plant dry - next, dry spots appeared in some leaves.. Maybe this came from the drying. Now I'm thinking the yellow veining was caused by lack of fertilizer. Have checked for pests and couldn't find any. Very baffling. But anyway, THANK YOU for this fantastic video!! Have added it to my Favorites and subscribed to your channel now. :)
I would love to see a video about the Schefflera Amate. I got one from my grandmother and it has shown amazing growth (10 inches in 6 months) but I want to know how to propagate it. Any quick suggestions?
Thanks for the detailed information! I just received one today that I ordered online, and I noticed the leaves are quite upright, like closed hands, not as ‘laying flat’ as yours or others that I see from the internet. Could you please possibly diagnose the problem? The leaves are standing but not lying relax. I hope I explained what it means 😂😂 visually. They now act like prayer plants at night. Thank you!!
Thanks for your video, when you have multiple starter (3 my case) Should we braided them between them or is it done by itself (considering the fact that it's already 40cm tall and already braided )
We have just bought a house that’s a fixer upper and are using a fireplace to heat through the winter. My plants are in the same room with the fire place which is just the best place to have them. I feel like my plants aren’t having enough humidity in here. Is there anything I can do or should I move it to another room? I was thinking maybe near the window in the bathroom.
Love your videos! So helpful and well explained. I have a question about my small-medium schefflera which was been growing sideways for a while (since I bought it, sigh). The single stem is straight for 11" and then veers off at almost 45 degrees. My inexperienced guess is that I haven't been rotating it frequently enough so it gets sun on all sides? Didn't have the heart or guts to cut it as it deviated, but now the sideways part of the stem is 9" long (pretty top-heavy) and I'm not sure if a support stick would help at this point or if I should cut off and propagate the whole sideways portion?
Thanks for the information on arbor icons plants(I have one).Also please give information on the care of china doll plants. I have purchase this plant several times. HELP!!!!
I've got 2 of these that were in the same pot when I got them. I left them to do their thing for about a month until they started looking grumpy and pale. I separated them and recall they didn't have much roots at all. A year later and they've hardly grown and seen today that the root system in tiny. I'm talking no more than a 4 inch root ball in diameter. I did transfer them today with another tropical that likes water, so u hope ull see some changes. I'll attempt to add a picture. Should I be worried about the small amount of roots? Will the plants ever grow the way it should?

This dude will no doubt be put on charge of taking care of the new Garden of Eden in the next life...he is 100% the plant whisperer extraordinare!! Id love to see his personal collection,
My schefflera blooms every year, now it has fruit. Yes! It is about 20 years old
it grows fruit?
Mine too. It is 35 years old. Too bad the fruit is not edible.
I didn’t know they had fruit , how did you get it so tall?
❤
For anyone with hard water, dusting with a brush might be a better option than showering the plant. As the water evaporates, dissolved solids will be left behind that leave a chalky layer or residue on the leaves.

This was very informative and enjoyable at the same time.
Thank you, propagation tips could help!
I skipped over this video when it first came out cause I wasn't interested in owning one of these plants. Well, guess what I picked up today. lol

I live in South Wales, UK and mine has been outside this summer! The variegation has exploded and the leaves are more gold than green!

How is your plant now, was it the fertilizer being the problem?
I think it is easy to care for when you know what you are doing........:) It sounds complex.......:)
can you notch the main stem to encourage branching where you want it?
This is my first schefflera and you certainly explained in detail to help keep my new baby alive. Thank you so much. 💜🪴
I would love to see a video about the Schefflera Amate. I got one from my grandmother and it has shown amazing growth (10 inches in 6 months) but I want to know how to propagate it. Any quick suggestions?

Thanks for your video, when you have multiple starter (3 my case) Should we braided them between them or is it done by itself (considering the fact that it's already 40cm tall and already braided )
Does the info on cutting between nodes goes for all plants?
Can you propagate a cutting that has started getting bark on the stem but still have leaves coming out from it?
We have just bought a house that’s a fixer upper and are using a fireplace to heat through the winter. My plants are in the same room with the fire place which is just the best place to have them.

The single stem is straight for 11" and then veers off at almost 45 degrees. My inexperienced guess is that I haven't been rotating it frequently enough so it gets sun on all sides? Didn't have the heart or guts to cut it as it deviated, but now the sideways part of the stem is 9" long (pretty top-heavy) and I'm not sure if a support stick would help at this point or if I should cut off and propagate the whole sideways portion?
You could probably cut it and start another plant off of it but schefflera are also easily bendable, some wire would do you good
Thanks for the information on arbor icons plants(I have one).Also please give information on the care of china doll plants. I have purchase this plant several times. HELP!!!!
Such great information but nothing on propagation. I will look for that!
I've got 2 of these that were in the same pot when I got them. I left them to do their thing for about a month until they started looking grumpy and pale. I separated them and recall they didn't have much roots at all. A year later and they've hardly grown and seen today that the root system in tiny. I'm talking no more than a 4 inch root ball in diameter. I did transfer them today with another tropical that likes water, so u hope ull see some changes. I'll attempt to add a picture.
Should I be worried about the small amount of roots? Will the plants ever grow the way it should?
What a great informative video on one of my favourite trees! 🪴
