I'm mulling over what to do with my umbrella plant (Schefflera).
It's quite tall, with one bifurcation of its 'trunk'. I had to expel it into the garden earlier this year as the compost I'd potted it up in (proper houseplant stuff supposedly) got infested with fungus gnats. Out of its heavy cache pot it's unstable and tbh it was getting too big for anywhere indoors.
So... I'm thinking I should take cuttings but not sure what the best method is. And if this also serves as pruning the original plant, wondering if there are any tips - I assume cutting the two stems will result in further branching?
And also will repotting in different compost be likely to solve the gnat problem?
