Rooting Schefflera

Question

We have a schefflera that is about 12 ft tall and we wish to bring it in for the winter. Can we root the 5 ft we take off the top in water?

Answer 1

That is alot of plant to try to root. It likely will not take because there would be so much foliage for the plant to try to support without a decent root system for quite some time. I would recommend using the large pruning to take several smaller cuttings and trying to root those.
