Schefflera Soleil

Schefflera Soleil

Schefflera Soleil is a vibrant, relatively new introduction to the houseplant and interiorscape world. This Schefflera is an Amate type with golden-chartreuse colored emerging foliage. The color will be brighter and more vibrant in higher light settings. As the foliage matures it will fade to a green color. Sometimes in the right light, the entire upper portion of the plant will remain a lime green. Soleil requires medium to high light and should only be watered when dry. Over-watering can lead to rot and potential leaf drop. Low light can also lead to leaf drop. This variety is a relatively steady grower and is great as a specimen or in a grouping.
