1. Water. Schefflera has particularly strong drought and moisture tolerance, but it also consumes a lot of water during its normal growth period. It is best to ensure timely watering, especially in spring, autumn and summer, it should be watered every 3 to 3 days. Water once every 4 days to keep the pot soil moist. After winter, you can reduce the frequency of watering to keep the soil slightly dry.

2. Fertilize. During the breeding period, Schefflera must be fertilized in time, especially during its peak growth season. It should be fertilized every 1 to 2 weeks. The fertilizer can be a nutritionally balanced liquid fertilizer, and when repotting the Schefflera, it is also necessary to fertilize it. Apply enough base fertilizer to its potting soil.

3. Sunshine. The duck's foot tree likes a semi-shady environment and should be maintained in a bright and diffused light place, so it's a good idea to have a pot at home. As long as the light in your home is bright, you can enjoy it for a long time. In winter, it can be moved near the south window. In spring and autumn, the flowerpot can be moved outdoors to a well-ventilated place for maintenance for a period of time. However, proper shading should be paid to avoid sun exposure that may cause the leaves to wither and turn yellow.

4. Temperature. The duck's foot wood is not cold-resistant. In winter, the room temperature should be kept above 10°C. If the room temperature is lower than 8°C for a long time, the leaves will gradually wither and turn yellow. If it drops below 0°C, the leaves will fall off. Therefore, the winter for the duck's foot tree is the most difficult. The indoor temperature needs to be controlled.

5. Repot and prune in time. The duck's foot wood needs to be repotted once every spring. If you use a plastic pot, you need to pay attention to the soil being slightly looser. The duck's foot tree grows quickly and is prone to sprouting leggy branches. Once it becomes a mature plant, it needs regular shaping and pruning to keep the plant neat and beautiful. The duck's foot tree that has been maintained for many years has old perennial branches and the plant shape is too large. It can be repotted every year when new shoots sprout, and the branches, leaves and old roots can be cut off.
