Potting Schefflera Cutting After Water Rooting: Perlite-Lightened Soil

Your Schefflera cutting has 3-inch water roots. Best soil: 2 parts potting soil + 1 part perlite (white volcanic granules).

Why Perlite

• Lightens soil.
• Increases air flow.
• Improves drainage.
• Doesn’t decompose.

Mixing

Use a cottage cheese container as measure. 2 scoops soil, 1 scoop perlite. Mix well.

Water gently. Keep humid initially. Transition to normal care in weeks.
