Schefflera 'Bianca', also known as the Dwarf Umbrella Tree, is a variegated variety of Schefflera arboricola that features lush, green leaves with creamy white edges. Here's a detailed guide on how to care for Schefflera 'Bianca':
Light: Schefflera plants enjoy bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, while too little light may cause them to lose their variegation and become leggy. An east or west-facing window can provide ideal conditions.
Water: Water your Schefflera when the top inch of the soil has dried out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than overwater. Reduce watering during the winter months when plant growth naturally slows down.
Humidity and Temperature: These plants prefer moderate to high humidity levels. If your home is dry, you can boost humidity by placing a tray of water near your plant, misting the leaves, or using a humidifier. Schefflera plants prefer temperatures between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit and do not tolerate cold drafts or sudden temperature changes well.
Soil: A well-draining potting mix is ideal. You can use a regular houseplant potting mix with added perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage.
Fertilizer: Feed your Schefflera 'Bianca' during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots. Do not fertilize in the winter.
Repotting: Schefflera plants should be repotted every 2-3 years or when they outgrow their current pot. Make sure the new pot has drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.
Pruning: To keep your Schefflera plant bushy and full, prune it back once a year. You can remove the top of the plant and any long, leggy branches.
Propagation: Schefflera 'Bianca' can be propagated by stem cuttings. Take a cutting that includes at least one leaf joint, dip it in rooting hormone, and place it in a small pot with moist, well-draining soil.
As with all houseplants, the specific care routine may need to be adjusted based on your home's specific conditions. Regularly check your plant's health and adjust your care routine as needed.
