The Schefflera Gold Capella is easy to take care of and requires little water. A slightly moist soil is best for this houseplant, but in winter the soil may dry out a little between waterings. We recommend that you check the soil every two days in the beginning to see if it is still moist. Regularly spraying the leaves with water will have a positive effect. The dust will disappear from the leaves and the sunlight will reach the houseplant better. Spraying also has a preventive effect against mealy bugs and other pests.
