37+ Schefflera Leaves Turning Brown. Scheffleras are very susceptible to root rot. The nursery repotted it i returned home to find blackened and green leaves on the floor.
Unfortunately i had to leave it without.
It is a fungus and unfortunatly it is very difficult to get rid of. Etc not sure if it. A common problem with schefflera and almost all indoor houseplants is what we call tipping or simply the tips of the leaves drying out and turning brown. Because of the more compact form, it's the large glossy leaves, which resemble a hand with the fingers spread out, don't seem to get as many brown tips as the leaves of other houseplants.
