Need tips for my new Schefflera (Dazzle)?
#Schefflera
@sarah10orio I just got a new Schefflera (Dazzle) plant last week and Iβd really like to keep it alive. I saw yours and they look so beautiful and healthy. Can you give me any tips so I donβt kill this one?

Keep the spidermites off it! Seriously, if you have Bonide systemic houseplant insect controlοΏΌ- use it. Spidermites have found their way to ALL my scheffleras οΏΌat one point or another.
They like bright light, but not direct light. I let the soil dry between waterings and it seems to help it push out new growth- I even have aerial roots on two of them now!
I've put the big one outside under a tree for a few months and that really helped it kickstart new growth; it hadn't had new growth since I brought it home.
There's a tiny one I keep in a west-facing kitchen window and it does really well.
I have also trimmed one to propagate the top and encourage more growth from the bottom and it worked out well for me.

@sarahsalith thank you so much!! I will go get some Bonide for sure. Does it like humidity? Iβm currently misting my plants often because itβs so hot here still. My pothos are getting crispy even with butt-chugging. π©π€·ββοΈ @Jilliebeanstalk so glad you rescued your clientβs plant!!
