🛠️ Survival Guide for Your Dwarf Umbrella Plant ‘Ivory’
☀️ Light
This beauty thrives in bright, indirect light. It can handle some direct sunlight for short periods but prefers filtered light to keep its variegation vibrant. Avoid low-light conditions.
💧 Water
Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering. Typically, this means watering every 1–2 weeks depending on your home’s humidity. Be careful not to overwater—Schefflera doesn’t like soggy feet!
🪴 Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one enriched with organic matter. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to avoid root rot.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Maintain temperatures between 18–27°C for optimal growth. It loves average indoor humidity but will appreciate a light misting in drier climates or during winter.
🌼 Fertilizer
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. No need to fertilize during the fall and winter months.
🪴 Pot Styling Tip
Pair this plant with a chic, glossy ceramic pot in neutral tones to complement its creamy variegation, or choose a vibrant color for a fun contrast.
🐈⬛ Your Schefflera and Pets
Keep this plant out of reach of pets and small children, as it is toxic if ingested.
✨ Fun Fact!
