Schefflera: Amate
Schefflera plants are fast-growing plants, especially if planted outdoors, where they can add three feet per year. Indoor plants are slower-growing, especially if you keep them somewhat confined in a tight-fitting container.
Plant Care: Keep in medium to bright, indirect sunlight. Allow the soil to completely dry out between watering and then fully soak soil.
