I will assume that the original poster does not know about the leaf structure of a Scheflerra, which can be important when it comes to pruning and shaping. It may seem like your plant has a whole bunch of leaves, but it really only has 10-12. Scheflerra leaves consist of 5+ leaflets that all connect to a 'hub' at the end of the petiole (leaf stalk). In the second picture, the cluster of leaflets (or umbrella!) in the foreground/bottom left quadrant is a single leaf. I'm not sure how long the whole leaf will survive if you were to trim off a leaflet, or 3. I would experiment with removing a couple of leaflets of a leaf you wouldn't mind losing completely and see how it reacts over the next 6 or so months.

Judging from the length of the petioles, this plant has been grown in less than ideal lighting. It might survive in lower light, but it will not prosper or keep a nice dense growth. We move ours outside for the summer and keep in as much full sun as we get.

In terms of watering, pay attention to the soil. You'll want to water when the top of the soil is dry. Touch the soil with your finger and if nothing sticks to it it's dry enough to water. The only physical indication that I have seen from Scheflerra in need of water is dropping of green leaflets. If things reach that stage it is bad - the plant is trying to conserve resources by killing off energy factories.

I will say that $50USD may not have been an extremely high price. Your plant does have some nice, low branching that looks to be hardened off with some interesting surface roots (though not your classic nebari). My experience is that Scheflerra is slower to harden off than a lot of species.
