Scheffleras don't always look flawlessly beautiful. If isolated brown spots appear on the leaves or if the leaves turn completely brown and fall off, quick action is required…
Direct sunlight can cause brown leaves
There can be several reasons behind this
This houseplant can get brown leaves if:
- it suffers from a lack of water (substrate feels dry)
- exposed to direct sunlight
- there is intense heat
- rot has occurred due to wetness in the root area
- there is a sudden change in temperature to cold
- she suffers from a nutrient deficiency
- it is infected by a fungal pathogen
That helps now!
Depending on the cause, help your Schefflera with:
- a fertilization
- a soaking bath and more regular watering
- a repotting action in new soil
- a change of location
- cutting off diseased shoots
tips
As soon as the first signs appear, you should question the previous location of the radiate ara and adjust the care if necessary!
