Schefflera Arboricola Plant Care Guide

Water Requirements
Water your Schefflera Arboricola when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure the soil drains well to avoid root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, and reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

Sunlight Requirements
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. If the plant is in low light, its growth may slow down, but it will still remain healthy.

Fertilizer
Feed your Schefflera Arboricola once a month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. During the fall and winter, reduce fertilization to every 6-8 weeks or stop altogether, as the plant’s growth naturally slows.

Humidity
Schefflera Arboricola prefers moderate humidity levels but can adapt to average indoor conditions. If the air is particularly dry, especially in winter, mist the plant occasionally or place it near a humidifier to maintain leaf health and prevent browning.

Live Plant Buying Disclaimer
Thank you for considering the purchase of a live plant from Thorsen’s Greenhouse. We take pride in sharing the joy of plants with our customers and want to make sure you have a seamless plant buying experience! Please read the following important information before making your purchase:
Shipping Stress: Shipping live plants can be stressful for the plant, which may result in minor damage during transit. While we take every precaution to package your plant securely, some soil may shift, and the plant may experience slight wilting, leaf loss, or browning upon arrival. These are normal responses and typically resolve with proper care.Individual Variation: Each plant is a unique, living organism, and no two plants are exactly alike. The plant you receive may not look exactly like the one pictured online. Variations in color, size, shape, and growth patterns are natural and should be expected.Minor Imperfections: Live plants often have small imperfections such as spots, tears, or minor blemishes on their leaves. These do not affect the overall health or beauty of the plant but are part of the natural growth process.Acclimation Period: Upon arrival, your plant may need time to acclimate to its new environment. This period is crucial for the plant to recover from the stress of shipping. We recommend allowing your plant to rest and gradually introducing it to its new conditions.Care Instructions: We encourage you to review the care instructions for your plant to ensure it thrives in its new home. Different plants have different needs, and proper care is essential for the health and longevity of your new plant.Non-Returnable: Please note that live plants are non-returnable due to their perishable nature. We strive to provide healthy, vibrant plants, but once they leave our care, we cannot confirm their condition due to the variables involved in transit and acclimation.Issues? Should your plant arrive damaged, you need to submit a photo of the damaged plant to us within 3 days of the plant’s delivery to be covered.

Packaged with Care. Gorgeous plant. Healthy
ordered in winter and I was nervous. but the plant came so perfectly packaged with plastic to hold in dirt and leaves, with ventilation holes… extra wrapping around that to support the plant and the heat back to keep her warm. Such a perfect plant. you’d never know it just spent a week in the cold getting here

Great plant!
The first plant I received unfortunate came dead. He was frozen and sad (I live in WI and we had a polar freeze). This was NOT due to the seller by ANY means. They had packaged him beautifully and had put a heating pack nice and snuggly on him! What the issue was is that the deliver people took longer than expected so his heating pack got cold.I contacted the seller and they responded so quick! I sent a few pictures of the poor guy and they then sent a new plant the next day.My new guy came a few days later. He was also beautifully wrapped with a heating block. Thankfully we had warmed up by then!He is beautiful! His color is gorgeous, his leaves are great! He is much taller than I pictured (I am used to getting smaller plants) and I absolutely love him! He was definitely worth the money I spent on him!I but 95% of my plants online through Amazon and third party, and I am extremely happy with this purchase. I would definitely buy from this seller and/or this plant again not only for myself but as a gift.

Such a beautiful tree. I absolutely love it 🥰🪴💕
Arrived for the most part healthy & moist.. but with soil everywhere and the roots slightly uprooted. Which is the reason for the 4 stars. I do feel that the soil should have been better protected to avoid this. I ended up having to prune about 2-3 small leaves and repot it considering the way it arrived. Also decided to separate the roots a bit and put into a bigger pot. Otherwise it’s a very beautiful tree. Just hoping that it adapts well after all of the traveling and the transplanting.

Expensive for what it is
