Schefflera

Schefflera 'Amate'

Keep the Umbrella tree strong and full by pruning 'straggler' branches. Medium light is best with Eastern or Northern exposure to natural light, supplemented with fluorescent or incandescent artificial light in the office. The plant soil should be kept uniformly moist, but not wet. Wait one year, then begin light monthly fertilization, with a commercial all-purpose fertilizer.
