Planting and care
An underwatered, cold schefflera will begin to drop leaves quickly, so take leaf-drop seriously and move to correct the problem.If you lose all the leaves, but you want to save the plant, move it outside in the spring, give it lots of water, and it should leaf back out.Also called the umbrella plant, the schefflera is a popular houseplant because of the beauty of its dark green plus golden leaves, which form "fingers" in a circle.
