The first few leaves had a brown spot on them, now the leaves look perfectly fine when they drop. I recently moved it closer to the light and started watering less at a time, but more frequently. We are holding strong at 2 leaves with a little sprout! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gIc2KPa0xTkk4OzvKFHijBwqiA-QlQzz3iw-g3zFxeA/b4e854e4439b45d0a5522b2bdf46063e.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### GreenLeaf님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Does your pot have drainage? If no other pests/visible issues have been found on your plant then I suspect its in too large a pot (drainage or not) for the plant to handle the moisture. You want it in a pot that is 1-2” larger than the plants’ root ball. If you haven’t recently, I would definitely check the roots to see what they’re looking like. #### Martine님이 2023-07-11에 답변했습니다. The pot does have drainage, but maybe you’re right, maybe it was too big of a pot! I never thought about that. I’ll check the roots and go from there. Thank you!! ### Tee Jay님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. They usually drop leaves when they don’t get enough light. Get it in a shady spot outside if you can, or a south or west window. Water when the soil is dry and then soak it deeply #### Martine님이 2023-07-11에 답변했습니다. I moved it to a more bright indirect spot in the house and since then it only dropped one leaf and it’s been weeks since that’s happened! ### Bri님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Over watering doesn’t mean giving the plant too much water it’s the frequency in which you water. When you’re watering it you should soak it and give it a good amount of time to dry out! #### Martine님이 2023-07-11에 답변했습니다. Thanks! I think the pit may be too big, causing the plant to not use all the water. I’m gonna check the root situation and go from there! Thank you for your help! 🙏😊 ### Bri님이 2023-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. No problem! That’s a good idea --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
