- An underwatered, cold Schefflera will begin to drop leaves quickly, so take leaf-drop seriously and move to correct the problem.If you lose all the leaves, but you want to save the plant, move it outside in the spring, give it lots of water, and it should leaf back out.
- Water weekly during the growing season and spray frequently. Cut back water during winter.
- Feed twice weekly during the growing season with liquid fertilizer or use two applications of slow-release pellets. They are heavy feeders.
