How can I get mine to be bushier? It just keeps growing taller. There was a moment of time where I accidentally was under watering so it lost some leaves. But is doing better now. Itās dropped a few leaves recently due to moving to a new house. #DwarfUmbrellaTree

I did another plant purge - six plants this time. My husband takes them to work for others to enjoy. I also got this lovely today from Target. I hope it thrives. Greg insisted to call it an umbrella plant. I insist on calling it a schefflera plant. lol #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Schefflera #UmbrellaPlant #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy #

Dwarf umbrella trees losing leaves Hey all! Iāve had these two dwarf umbrella trees for a couple of years now, theyāve been healthy and thriving, until the last month, theyāve been dropping leaves like crazy! I thought they might be root bound in the pot together, which they were a little snug but not bad at all. I separated them anyway hoping that would help, but it didnāt. I checked the rootsāperfectly white and plump, no rot. As you can see the leaves are staying lovely green and shiny. Theyāre just falling off š„² Both trees are still putting out copious new growth on top. I have not changed anything about their water schedule or light or anything. One day they were happy, now they still seem semi happy but also not. I canāt find any useful info online because everything assumes over or under watering, neither is the case. š©·šŖ“ #UmbrellaTree #DwarfUmbrellaTree #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #babevila #helpneeded

Has grown pretty quickly in the 2 years Iāve had it. Admittedly it doesnāt get a ton of light but still seems to do well. It will drop leaves when it needs water.

I really loved my plant until I noticed pest on the underside of her leaves on her new growth. I immediately took her out of circulation and sprayed her with neem oil. I hope it works. Otherwise Sheera is pretty easy to care for.

Slow grower but sheās resilient. Just one of those plants you forgot you had but sheās just doing her own thing growing at her own rate.

Late spring I like to put her outside on carport till fall time . She grows like crazy. The carport has a cover so not direct sun . And I fill old milk containers with water let them get room temperature. Thatās what I use to water my plants with .

It started out lush but has been dropping leaves like crazy. Out of our 20 plants itās the hardest to manage. We think it may need water multiple times a week
