There are many ways to propagate Schefflera by cuttings: you can use river sand for cuttings, you can also propagate in water, and you can also use nutrient soil for direct cuttings. Its rooting is relatively easy. Let us explain the specific cutting methods.

First, propagate with nutrient soil,

Choose semi-lignified branches, cut them into small sections about 10 cm long, keep one to two pairs of leaves, trim the bottom into a slanted cut, soak the bottom in water for one day, then insert it into nutrient soil. This is very beneficial for rooting. We can use peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite in a 1:1:1 ratio. This ratio is very suitable for cuttings, loose and breathable, with good water retention. Not only for Schefflera cuttings, other plants are also very easy to propagate successfully by cuttings.

Still choose semi-lignified Schefflera branches, trim the lower end into a slanted cut, keep one to two pairs of leaves, insert them into river sand, then place it in a ventilated place with scattered light and keep the river sand slightly moist. In this way, roots will grow in about 20 days.

Third, propagate in water,

Still choose semi-lignified branches, as such branches are easy to root. Insert the lower part into water and place it in a ventilated place with scattered light. In this way, rooting is relatively fast, and roots can grow in about half a month. However, when transplanting, be careful, because its new root system is relatively fragile. When transplanting, be sure to be careful and do not press it with your hands, to avoid damaging the root system.

When transplanting, use loose and breathable soil to make it easier for the root system to spread. When the soil is loose and breathable, even if you water more, it is not easy to accumulate water. The Schefflera will grow very fast, with crisp, oily-green leaves, and is very ornamental.
