Sow Schefflera seeds in well-drained potting soil, maintaining a constant temperature of 73 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (23 to 29 degrees Celsius) to encourage germination, which can take 30 to 60 days. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. When the seedlings are a few inches tall, transplant them into individual pots.
Place Schefflera in a bright to partially shaded spot, away from direct sunlight to avoid burning its foliage. This plant tolerates a wide range of lighting conditions, but prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Be sure to water regularly, allowing the surface of the soil to dry out between waterings.
