Are these toxic to pets?
Asked by Chris January 13, 20193
AnswersUnfortunately, yes. I would keep the plant where they can not access it or forgo the schefflera for a non-toxic plant. This website may assist in choosing the best plants to ensure pet are safe: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/schefflera/

Will this survive shipping in NE winter?
Asked by Annie December 30, 20192
AnswersHello Annie, Most plants can tolerate temperatures of 55-60 degrees, however if it is below these temperatures we would not recommend as prolonged exposure below the above stated temperature ranges will deteriorate the plant. Best regards, United Nursery Team
Is it possible to keep on front porch in the winter? If so, how to care for? We get below freezing sometimes, so any reccomendation is great.
Asked by R8diant August 13, 20191
AnswerHello, This plant will not be able to acclimate to cold weather and therefore will shock the roots and will cause the plant to deteriorate. This plant must be kept in temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Best regards, United Nursery Care Team
For shipping, you don't recommend ordering in "extreme cold weather," can you give a temp range? ...
Asked by Ken December 26, 20181
AnswerWe recommend shipping when expected lows in your area are not below 30 degrees fahrenheit as product cannot withstand staying outdoors for extended periods of time.
It says 5 feet tall, but if replanted in the ground outdoors will this grow taller than that?
Asked by st3v3 May 21, 20191
AnswerHello, If planted on the ground, the schefflera can grow up to 40 feet.

Asked by Leland November 26, 20181
AnswerFor optimum growth your plant will prefer light levels in the 750-1000 foot candle range. If your plant is receiving any indirect sunlight from a nearby window this will be beneficial as well and foot candles may be reduced.

Beautiful plant!! Mature and super healthy. Packed really well, shipped the next day, arrived safe and sound (although few leaves were a bit beaten up during delivery but overall it was still amazing) Have had it for a week and it's thriving. Also repotted it, soil seems clean and not contaminated with anything. Amazing, thank you so much! Def recommend it.

The plant was healthy and larger than i expected it to be. It's almost 3 feet tall not including the pot. It's a large plant to be shipped. A week later it is still alive.

This was my first experience purchasing plants online, so I didn't really know what to expect in terms of size/quality...but when I received my order I was blown away by how large, full, and healthy my plant was. There was clearly also a lot of care put into the packaging/shipping and it arrive in great shape. I've since received plants from other growers that pale in comparison...I'll definitely be ordering more of my plants from United Nursery in the future.
Better than expected!
February 28, 2020
You won’t believe that was an online order delivered by ups! Professional and smart package ensured plants came in a perfect condition, no broken leaves, no mess with spilled dirt. And plant is great quality / healthy with glossy leaves!
I loved it so much I came back and bought again.
Highly recommended !

July 24, 2019
Plant was packaged well and shipped nicely. It's box is a good design to both protect the plant during shipping and unboxing. All leaves and stem appear to be healthy. My only issue is that the top of the main stem was allowed to grow off to one side and will become increasingly lopsided. It is still a vibrant plant, and I'm hopeful one day it can be pruned where it bends
Amate is beautiful!! fast shipment in an easy to open container.

September 20, 2020
Within one week of arriving this plant was very sick, and none of my other plants are. Thankfully I had kept it isolated so it did not infect the others and was able to save about 1/3 of the leaves, but only with significant effort.
