Help with Schefflera.

Mortalis · 07-31-2010, 10:10 PM

I just purchased this Schefflera. I am thinking about dividing it into two trees when I repot it around spring time. I have no idea how to style Schefflera I know you don't use traditional techniques or can you? Any ideas on what to do with it are appreciated.

OK, third attempt to answer your post. Hopefully it works this time--if so, kudos to Phil.

I would not separate the trees if this were mine. I think this plant works best as a multi-trunk, encouraging aerial roots as much as possible. In fact, I would consider adding another plant (possibly a rooted cutting from this plant) to the left side in the first photo. That side is my preferred view of this plant, BTW, though it is difficult to make out much detail in these photos.
