My office has a beautiful 5 foot shefflera tree and it gets really neglected/shoved into a corner where there's not much light. I believe shefferas like a lot of bright light so I moved it to a large room with a lot of windows but faces west. Another thing, it could use repotting and a heavy pot because if moved, it wants to tip over. What type of potting soil/combo should I use?

Thanks,
Susan

You can use miracle grow, I add some extra perlite to it for mine to improve drainage a bit more. They seem to like to get nearly totally dry between waterings.
