Help! My Umbrella Tree is losing leaves, they’re turning black and falling off😭I can’t figure out why, I don’t think the watering or lighting is the issue, it’s definitely not overwatered and gets consistent indirect light…is it root bound?? any ideas? how do I help it😭

    according to google it says underwatering, extreme sun exposure & cold damage can cause the leaves to turn black.

    I agree with Sarah and my first thought was cold draft and dry air

    Nope. It comes to mind because I learned the hard way—so it really stuck.
