Not a bit. That's plenty big enough. You might have a tough time
finding a deco container to hold it that won't cost BIG bucks. If you
want a bigger schefflera than an 18" container can support you should
plant it in the garden and forget the pot. An 18" pot will be good
until it is about 12 foot and I don't think they get much bigger.
Then you can decide whether you want to root prune and keep in a pot
or plant it outside.
