I've had this Philodendron Imperial Green plant for several years. Now within the pass 6 months it's been dropping leaves like flies. Would anyone know what possibly is causing this?

How often are you watering

#### Plantpa ha respondido el 2026-07-25

Every 8 days

#### Alocasia Baddie 🪴 ha respondido el 2026-07-27

Watering on a schedule could be why. Do you check the soil before you water? If it’s still moist, you could be overwatering and inadvertently cause root rot. Water when your plants needs it, not on a schedule.

Very true

Does she need a repot?

#### Plantpa ha respondido el 2026-07-28

No, I potted about a year ago

#### Tracy Lee ha respondido el 2026-07-28

She looks to me like she’s dropping old leaves cause she needs more room. A year can certainly be long enough to need refreshed soil with the appropriate nutrients. Godspeed! 💚💚

It looks sunburned to me?

#### Plantpa ha respondido el 2026-07-28

Never been outside, about 4 ft away from any window

I appreciate everyone's comments. What I finally did was I backed off from watering and now the plant is doing much better with next to zero leaf drops. I've had this plant for a few years and never experienced this. Wish I knew sooner. Now the the bottom 8 in of the plant is bare of leaves.
