Comments (34)That's what i've done this winter, 5 new plants and chopping up a massive jungle vine. Was probably a bad move but i couldn't find a place for it anywhere when it was like 12'. I have a 13 year old schefflera arboricola, a 5 year old schefflera arboricola "gold capella", and a 6 year old jasmine sambac (var. maid of orleans i think?) at someone elses place with new growth. Too dark in this home for them. I miss them... Anyone else want to share? I'd like to see more plants!...See MoreMy Scheflera arboricola isn't budding out as fast as the others
Comments (12)Don't know. The reason I asked about the mass is to try to determine if the tree with better vitality had a lot more foliage to provide the energy for new buds. I asked about the timing of the pruning because removing a significant amount of foliage late in the growing season or in winter leaves a plant at a considerable disadvantage and can weaken it noticeably. If the tree-like plant had less foliage than the bushy plant, and you were watering/fertilizing them at the same time, it's possible that the tree with less foliage was getting over-watered or was/is dealing with a high level of salts in the soil. Sometimes there are problematic issues so commonly coupled with certain cultural conditions that you can suggest what the problems might be with a fair amount of expectation that the diagnosis is accurate, based on odds alone; but sometimes things are more obscure and being caused by some detail going unnoticed, which I suspect is the case. Now that summer is almost here, you should be able to move them outdoors where you can give them some sun and be sure they dry down considerably before you water. When you do water, you can saturate and flush the soil thoroughly each time. Scheffs respond very well to half the suggested strength solution of 3:1:2 ratio fertilizers (like 24-8-16, 12-4-8, or 9-3-6) every 2 weeks or so when growing well. You probably already know the story about soil, so I'll just say that a well-aerated mix that is stable/durable can ease a lot of heartache and noticeably improve vitality, as well as the margin for grower error.
