Tiffany, assuming your reply was to my question, my schefflera is 15" tall, with three stems and a total of 16 leaf clusters. It takes the entire growing season outside (in a pot on the open porch) to recover from the previous winter's leaf drop. This will be the 3rd winter inside, and I'd like to avoid the leaf drop that it's suffered the first two winters.
Last winter, it was in a west-facing window, and I'm wondering if the air in that location may have been too dry. I'm curious what others do to raise the humidity for their houseplants and whether this is something I should try - ?
Any advice will be appreciated.
