I repotted my umbrella tree since I was changing the soil to a tropical mix. I made a mix of perlite, tropical soil mix and peat moss. The new pot is bigger since I saw in the old pot the roots were climbing the wall. Now I’m noticing the bottom leaves are dying off and I thought that was fine but it’s seems to be a lot of them. As well overall seems droopy? I’m not sure if it’s shock, heat wave, water in the soil or pot too big. All help appreciated ☺️
Is there drainage in the pot?

Could be a mixture of the shock and heat. When repotting losing leaves is almost inevitable. I would keep an eye on the roots though
0 likesHow would I do that? Also it’s been slowing loosing the lower leaves for about two weeks still
0 likes Gently lift the plant from the pot, dust any soil away from the roots gently and look at them/feel them. If the roots are brown/black or are mushy instead of firm, then you have a problem
