Umbrella Tree (Schefflera) and Jade Plant Care Fixes

Schefflera: Pot Too Big, Light Too Low

• Downsize pot—18–20" is huge for a 6–7 ft plant. Surface roots ≠ need to repot.
• Bright light + several hours direct sun (south window).
• Water when top 4 inches dry. Overpotting causes root rot → droopy leaves.

Jade: Leaf Plumpness = Water Status

• Slightly shriveled → underwatered. Water thoroughly.
• Firm and full → perfect. No change needed.
• Some varieties naturally have flatter leaves.
