Schefflera Arboricola Houseplant

The Schefflera Arboricola, commonly known as the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a popular houseplant due to its ease of care and attractive appearance. This plant is characterized by its glossy, green leaves that radiate from a central point, resembling an umbrella. It can be a low-maintenance and resilient plant, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

For troubleshooting, dropping leaves is often a sign of overwatering or too low temperatures. Allow the topsoil to dry out before watering again and keep the plant in a warm spot. Yellow leaves could be caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or insufficient light. Adjust watering schedules and ensure the plant gets enough light. If the plant is stretching out, it's likely not getting enough light. Move it to a brighter location but avoid direct, harsh sunlight. Watch for pests like spider mites and scale. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.
