can't grow tomatoes here but do have green thumb
 
Was looking for a home to rent 7 yrs ago. Walked in the front door, It had a plant room immediately in an atrium, open to living area, which was just one step up. Brick floor closet on one side, wall to wall south windows, and a giant five leaf that I have only grown as tiny house plants in pots before. It is a tree and all I do is water it, cut the tallest part when it is scraping the rafters. I can not clone it for friends that ask. But it is a house plant that is now a tree.floor to roof , Several other growing in dirt and i have added more in pots, Just unpotted a 7 yr old beauty that was totally root bound. It has some root shock, but other wise doing well.
I may not have an Orchid green thumb, but I live up to my legal name..Early Gardner.
Photos to follow......you have heard than one before:sleigh: may say skeigh, but those are Missourah Mules. I am a former hillbilly and proud of it.

hopefully

Amaryllius and dracina I think, and forgot the name of the one that has the thin stem and graceful leaves. Growing in dirt in an indoor planter. All I do is water them.
Repotted last month was root bound down to circling pot bottom. Went in shock but seems ok

Your Schefflera can be easily cloned if you want to share the plant with friends. The general procedure is here:
Schefflera Plant Propagation - How Can I Root Schefflera Cuttings. Use green stem cuttings (young tips of growing branches). It is important to cut off most of the leaf area so the plant does not dry out while the cutting is trying to form roots. Even if the cutting drops all it's leaves, continue caring for it as long as the stem is gree and not rotting.
