    It looks like your plant needs more sunlight. Watering correctly is important.
    It's best to check the soil instead of watering on a schedule.

    Yes, you can prune your Schefflera.

    Make sure the plant is sitting into the soil. Rotating the plant so that it receives even light is important for the plant.

    Over- or under-watering can cause curling and drooping leaves on some plants, and insects can also cause curling leaves. Make sure your plant has all the conditions it needs for health and that no insects are visible on the leaves:

    This is completely normal. It is to be expected that there will be some leaf drop at some point during the year. I see no reason for concern.

    I assume that your plant is a type of Schefflera. However, there are two commonly used Scheffleras that are used. It would be helpful if you could post a photo of yours so we know what you are referring to.

    A certain limited amount of lower leaf loss is normal. If you have had yours for three years and it has not been pruned, then that may be contributing to some of the leaf loss. Again, a photo that shows the entire plant would be helpful in assessing its need for pruning.

    Make sure the plant is receiving adequate bright light.
    I do think it may be a watering issue. If the soil is wet and soggy it can lead to root rot.
