Arboricola Trinette FAQ
How to Care for a Schefflera Arboricola Trinette Plant?
To care for a Schefflera Arboricola Trinette plant, provide it with bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate lower light conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Regularly wipe the leaves to keep them dust-free and enhance the plant’s appearance. Prune to control size and shape, removing any yellow or damaged leaves.
Are Arboricola Plants Poisonous to Cats?
Arboricola plants, including the Trinette variety, are considered toxic to cats if ingested. The plant contains compounds that can cause mild to moderate gastrointestinal distress in cats, such as vomiting and diarrhea. To ensure the safety of your feline companions, it’s advisable to keep arboricola plants out of their reach and seek veterinary attention if signs of ingestion occur.
How Big Do Arboricola Plants Get?
Arboricola plants, depending on the specific variety and growing conditions, can reach a height of 4 to 8 feet, with a similar spread. The Trinette cultivar, being a compact version of the schefflera, tends to stay on the smaller side, making it suitable for indoor cultivation and smaller living spaces.
