A friend asked me to come look at her plant. She has one that has found it's true home and has obviously been hers for about 5 years. Bless her heart, she has been taking all leaves off the bottom of the plant as well as anything on the stalk except the main leaves, ....so what she now has is a plant with one stalk, beautiful healthy leaves all the way up, the bracts are about 5/6 in apart for the first the 3 ft then they start closing and the last 2/3 winding up 1/2 apart with healthy green leaves. Needless to say the plant is top heavy and bending accordingly. She actually has 6 of them in a pot in a 3/3 row. Now I know what should be done and would love to have a couple of new schefflera myself but she really doesn't want me to start cutting up her beautiful plant.......any suggestions???
