# Someone gave me this 8-year-old variegated umbrella tree she was…

Someone gave me this 8-year-old variegated umbrella tree she was going to throw away and she told me how it was a plant you can braid... And I see why it has no lower leaves probably cuz she braided it through the years 🫪😩🙄 I don't think it's ever been fertilized like the other plant she gave me so I gave it som clean kelp and some FF grow big , do you think the leaves will grow back throughout the plant? I have a healthy variegated umbrella tree that looks much better than that
