This variegated variety features striking leaves with green and creamy-yellow or white patterns, making it a visually appealing addition to any indoor space.

• Light:

  • Bright, Indirect Light: Variegated Schefflera arboricola thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf colors. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch the leaves.
  • Low Light Tolerance: While it can tolerate lower light levels, insufficient light may cause the variegation to fade and the plant to become leggy.

• Watering:

  • Moderate Watering: Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
  • Reduced Watering in Winter: Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.

• Fertilization:

  • Balanced Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Reduced Feeding in Winter: Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

• Pruning:

  • Shape Maintenance: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and size. Regular pruning can help encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
  • Optimal Pruning Time: Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
