Check that your schefflera isn't way too wet. In my experience with those things they seem to dislike being soggy.

LOL! Mmmm, gravy...

Speaking of wet, yep, I think one of the kids "helped" mama by watering the plant. When I looked in the pot it was standing in an inch of water, and smelled like sulfur. But that's not all. It was so potbound, that the roots had actually grown up out of the pot and wrapped around the base of the plant like a bird's nest. What I thought was a fancy decorator wicker planter was, in fact, plant roots. I trimmed them, and scored the rootball to help it break free. If it lives, I'll be impressed. I pruned it too. In for a penny, in for a pound.
