Schefflera Re-potted
The Variegated Schefflera really took off this summer. It is a house plant that graces the edge of Dennis’ Koi pond from spring to fall. The pot that it had been in looked like a thimble compared to the height of the new growth. A larger pot with Miracle Gro Moisture Control should serve this plant for several seasons. Last winter, the Schefflera was challenged as Snuggles and Butter Ball had a hard time staying out of the potting soil. The answer was putting small rocks around the base of the plant right up to the rim. Time will tell. After the potting was done, Dennis got out the mower and I put a charged battery in the trimmer. The acre looks green and lush as we go into September. This fall we are stretching the mowing out to every other week, and there were areas that needed raking. A very unusual fall season to say the least.
