Why Grow Schefflera 'Gold Capella':

  • Eye-catching golden variegation brightens any space
  • Fast-growing and easy to care for
  • Tolerates low to bright indirect light
  • Air-purifying qualities
  • Compact bushy habit (3-6 feet indoors; larger outdoors in Zone 10)
  • Forgiving of occasional neglect

Planting Guide

Location:

  • Bright indirect light for best variegation—tolerates lower light
  • Outdoors (Zone 10): Partial to full shade; protect from hot afternoon sun
  • Avoid direct sun which can scorch variegated leaves

Soil:

  • Well-draining potting mix—standard houseplant soil works well
  • Outdoors: Rich, well-draining soil amended with compost

Planting:

  • Spacing: 3-4 feet apart for outdoor plantings
  • Depth: Plant at same depth as nursery container
  • Containers: Use pots with drainage holes; repot every 2-3 years

Watering:

  • Water when top 1-2 inches of soil dry out
  • Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged
  • Reduce watering in winter months
  • Overwatering causes leaf drop and root rot

Fertilizing:

  • Feed monthly during growing season (spring-summer) with balanced liquid fertilizer
  • Reduce to every 6-8 weeks in fall-winter

Pruning & Maintenance:

  • Prune in spring to control size and encourage bushiness
  • Pinch growing tips for fuller, more compact growth
  • Remove any all-green reverted leaves to maintain variegation
  • Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain shine

Harvesting:

  • Not applicable—ornamental plant only
  • Note: Plant sap may cause skin irritation; wear gloves when pruning

Pest & Disease:

  • Watch for spider mites, scale, and mealybugs—treat with insecticidal soap
  • Good air circulation prevents issues
  • Root rot from overwatering is primary concern

Companion Planting:

  • Pairs beautifully with ferns, pothos, and peace lilies
  • Excellent backdrop for lower-growing tropical foliage
  • Groups well with other variegated plants for bright, cheerful displays
