Schefflera aboricola (variegata)

Schefflera cuttings drooping @gjones @josy

Thanks @gjones

😱😱

Recently I propagated it just by leaves, without main stem. Evenly I have no idea about it before. I was lucky so succeeded. 😃😃 #umbrellaplant

@ankur1406 Congrats and well done.

Thanks @zeeshan

Good luck!👒

Oh my! :S yes... You just have to sit and wait Zeeshan :(

Have you used any rooting hormone?

Oh sorry I forgot this tip: I sometimes put the cuttings into water for a day :) before planting them in soil.

@josy Yes I used rooting hormones but didn't put them in water before.

Spray them daily and only light water to the roots. No direct sunlight. Fingers crossed! 👍

Pruned and propagated. First experience.

Sorry I didn't reply before I did it in my head and forgot to do it 😂 looks so much better and rejuvenated now 👍☺

It's okay @wesleybrian and thanks for your comment. Hoping that cuttings start to grow.

Looks a lot better 👌🏻

👍👍 love the frogs 🐸

Wow this is nice #Scheflera . I have a few plants like this I hope they can get to this point.

Hey @wesleybrian base on my experience the younger parts of the plant are much easier to propagate from #stemcuttings.

Much better! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #frog #ornament #variegated #schefflera

Excellent!!!!

I'm not sure... Please ask...maybe taking off a few more leaves from the cuttings would be better? @gjones @brightcolours @Jason

@josy These are seven cuttings and now I have cut all the leaves into half.

Neat! :) sorry I only counted 3 :P my bad!

Thinking of bringing it back into shape. Suggestions please.

@josy @slj @gjones

Thats a big one

Thanks @gjones That's some help. Actually I don't know what to do about this branch at bottom right which is totally drooping. The leaves on bottom half of it look healthy but on top these are pale and lifeless. Confused whether to cut off all, half or tie it up straight and wait.

@lilium @brightcolours

@wesleybrian

@gjones Even if it's unhealthy? And should I plant the whole cutting or shorten it?

@carolgs The one at my work is about eight feet tall. That's where the inspiration came from.

Thanks @gjones 😀

Hi mate @zeeshan very pleased to meet you where are you from cheers 😆@rockhampton

Hi @dennisjglennen Pleasure is mine. Living in Saudi Arabia.

@gjones I think it's a great a idea to try the cutting thing :)

A lot of new growth

@gjones Pretty much. Running out of space 😀

Love the shiny leaves on these plants, we always had one in our office
