CATDOLL : CATDOLL: There is a sticky substance on the leaves of Schefflera chinensis.

1. There is a sticky substance on the leaves of Schefflera

Your Schefflera must have been grown indoors for a long time and the ventilation is poor.

It is recommended that you first check whether there are small white, gray or pink things on the branches and the back of the leaves (generally gray scale insects on Schefflera). They are densely distributed on the branches, lying motionless, sucking the sap of the branches and causing harm.

This is a scale insect, whose secretions are sticky and shiny, which can easily induce sooty mold disease. Timely prevention and treatment is required. It is best to choose a scale insecticide, such as Guoguang scale insecticide and cypermethrin, which have the best effect. In addition, it is necessary to place the Schefflera in a place with better light and suitable ventilation. Combining scraping, brushing and wiping for prevention and treatment will have a more ideal effect.

Additional information:

Schefflera growth habits: likes warm, humid, semi-sunny environment. It grows best in deep, fertile acidic soil and is slightly resistant to barrenness. The suitable temperature for Schefflera growth is 16-27℃. From March to September, it is 21-27℃, and from September to March of the following year, it is 16-21℃. It can still grow normally under high temperature conditions above 30℃. The winter temperature is not lower than 5℃. If the temperature is below 0℃, the plant will be frozen and the leaves will fall, but if the stems are intact, new leaves will sprout again in the spring of the following year.

Schefflera likes moisture and is afraid of dryness. When the air humidity is high and the soil is moist, the stems and leaves grow luxuriantly. However, too much water will cause waterlogging and root rot. If the pot soil is water-deficient or alternately wet and dry for a long time, the leaves will fall. Schefflera has a certain ability to adapt to temporary drought and dry air.

Schefflera adapts to a wide range of light and can grow in full sun, half sun or semi-shade environments. However, the intensity of light has a certain relationship with the leaf color. When the light is strong, the leaf color tends to be lighter, and when it is semi-shaded, the leaf color is dark green. Under bright light, the color of variegated leaves is more vivid.

The soil should be fertile, loose and well-drained sandy loam. The potting soil should be a mixture of peat soil, leaf mold and coarse sand.

Your Schefflera must have been grown indoors for a long time and the ventilation is poor.

It is recommended that you first check whether there are small white, gray or pink things on the branches and the back of the leaves (generally gray scale insects on Schefflera). They are densely distributed on the branches, lying motionless, sucking the sap of the branches and causing harm.

These are scale insects. Their secretions are sticky and shiny, which can easily induce sooty mold disease and require timely prevention and control. It is best to choose special scale insecticides, such as Guoguang Scale Death and Methidathion, which are most effective.

In addition, the Schefflera needs to be placed in a place with better light and adequate ventilation in time.

Combining scraping, brushing and wiping for prevention and control will achieve more ideal results.

1. The Schefflera is sick! Treat it quickly or it will die. It has scale insect disease!

2. The phenomenon is: there is a sticky black liquid behind the leaves first, then on the trunk, and then drips onto the flowerpot, making the flowerpot sticky. You will see sesame-sized dots on the branches, which are beetles. You pick them off and there is white powdery stuff underneath.

3. Solution: remove the beetles and buy special medicine for treating beetles at the flower market.

4. It is very difficult to cure. Several potted plants I raised have died.

Just wipe it with alcohol or water

Your Schefflera must have been grown indoors for a long time and the ventilation is poor. I suggest you check first to see if there is any white on the branches and leaves.

2. How many leaves are there on each Schefflera tree?

Seven-leaf Schefflera, also known as seven-leaf lotus and Schefflera arborvitae, is an evergreen woody foliage plant. It is named for its dark green leaves and duck-foot-like appearance. Schefflera is native to the South Pacific Islands and is generally used as an indoor ornamental plant in my country. When designing Beiqiao Park, it was considered that the sewage discharged from the upper reaches of the South and North Bridge Rivers converged here, and the environment was polluted, so the garden designers boldly used Schefflera for open-air cultivation. The beautiful duck-foot-shaped leaves of Schefflera can absorb nicotine and other harmful substances from the smoky air and convert them into harmless plant-specific substances through photosynthesis. In addition, it can reduce the formaldehyde concentration by about 9 mg per hour. Schefflera does not require a high growth environment and is very suitable for inexperienced growers. Required maintenance: moderate watering, do not like too wet soil. If the tender branches near the buds are pruned, it can grow to 3 meters high and is very beautiful and dense. Large Schefflera trees need to be reinforced with bamboo poles. It likes warm, humid and semi-shady environments. Light conditions: Neutral plants. However, the leaf color varies with different sunlight. If the sunlight is strong, it will not show its shiny bright green color, while in semi-shade and semi-sun, the leaf color will be dark green and shiny.
