Question
I was wondering why my plant is well I mean my leaves are turning brown and i was wondering what was causing this problem.My house is kinda cool in the winter months.Would this have any effect on my plant?     thank you,Gary Wasson

Answer
Gary,

It is not affected by cool unles you are keeping it under 50 degrees in your home. Sheffleras are affected mostly by light and water. They need as much sun as possible. With too little sun their leaves turn black and fall off quickly.

Too much water is also hard on them. They need to get very dry between waterings. They do not like to be constantly moist, for them it is like sitting in a swamp.

If you have more questions feel free to write again. Good luck.
