How do you look after an umbrella plant?

To care for an umbrella plant (Schefflera), place it in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep it away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot. Maintain humidity by misting the leaves occasionally and wiping them down to remove dust. Fertilize every few months during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer to support healthy growth.
