Hey guys!
So I got a Mini Schefflera a few months ago and I’ve had to cure it of mildew (some spray I got from the store). I’ve noticed that it has been living still but the leaves have been wilty (new growth keeps appearing).
I placed it in some water today for about 20mins and got to thinking that something with it’s roots MAY be the cause of the wilting leaves? I’ve heard things about root rot and such but I don’t know much about these trees in general.
I detached the pot from the tree (with all of the dirt/root and everything attached) to take a look at it and then about 2/3 of the roots/dirt fell off in one big clump. So now the tree doesn’t have much of it’s base to it.
I realize this probably wasn’t one of my most intelligent ideas.
Is this a big issue?
Will it die and is there anything I can do to make the situation better?
Thanks in advance.
