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.

yeah I was googling it too and saw those, I’ll have to figure out which one it is…

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

aaaand this made me realize there’s an AC vent in the ceiling above where I have this plant. welp I feel dumb. I’m moving it, hopefully that was it. Ty!!

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