Overwatering Dwarf Schefflera: Why Increased Watering Causes Yellow Leaves and Leaf Drop

The Problem

You increased watering because the soil surface dried faster. But the plant was doing fine on weekly watering. The yellowing and leaf drop started AFTER you began watering twice daily—classic overwatering response.

Solution

Return to watering once per week. The plant will likely stop losing leaves and recover.
