Okay you guys, I know what this is but I need some help with the care, plants gives me the info but I want some personal experiences below to go by, what worked for you, environment, soil, everything you can tell me!! I love this plant so much, the tag said full sun also, plants says part sun/shade.

TIA 🤍☺️

Schefflera grows best in bright to medium indirect light. Less light = less growth and leggyness. plant in rich, loamy, acidic, well-draining soil and temperatures consistently warmer than 60°F. Don’t over water. Water when the pot is almost dried out or sometimes I’ll notice the leaves starting to droop a little. Beware of mealy bugs, spider mites and other pests.
