When you first buy Schefflera, don’t be in a hurry to change the basin. Give it some time to adapt to the new environment. Unless the soil quality was very poor when you bought it, don't replace the soil yet. It is best to have an ambient temperature above 20°C. Be sure not to water too much at one time to prevent water accumulation in the pot soil and root rot. You can spray water on the leaves regularly to increase the humidity of the leaves, which is more conducive to leaf growth. Don’t rush to fertilize it when you first buy it, as too much fertilizer may burn the roots.

1. What to do with the newly purchased Schefflera

When you first buy the Schefflera, don’t rush to change the basin. Give it some time to adapt to the new environment. Place it in a well-ventilated area with mild, diffuse light. Wait until it gets used to it before considering changing the pot and soil. When repotting it, be careful not to damage the roots. It is best to use the original soil for planting. If the roots are damaged when repotting, disinfect the soil and roots in time to avoid infection with germs.

2. Handling details in all aspects

1. Soil: Schefflera does not have high soil requirements. If the soil quality is too poor when you first buy it, you can replace the soil, but try not to knock off the soil at the roots and replace the surrounding soil. Use relatively soft and fertile soil to increase the air permeability and drainage of the soil. If the soil quality of your own soil ball is good, you can just change the pot, and it is better to add some thin fertilizer at the bottom.

2. Environment: When you first buy it, give it a comfortable environment. An environment with good ventilation and suitable temperature is more conducive to its growth. The average temperature of the environment should be around 20°C. Avoid exposure to sunlight, otherwise it may cause problems such as drying of the leaves.

3. Watering: It is best not to water too much when you first buy it. Although it is a water-loving plant, when it first adapts to the environment, its roots are slow to absorb water. If you water it too much, it will Causes its roots to soak in water and rot. After adapting to the environment, water it normally, just water it when it is dry. You can spray water appropriately to increase the humidity of the leaves, which is beneficial to the growth of plants.

4. Fertilization: Don’t rush to fertilize when you just buy it. Rushing to fertilize may cause root rot. After adapting to the environment, you can regularly use some well-rotted fertilizer to promote its growth.

5. Pruning: It must be pruned in time. If the internal branches and leaves are too dense, some useless branches and leaves must be pruned off to increase its internal ventilation and light transmission. Prune long, crooked branches and leaves to keep the tree in good shape.
