Does anyone know why my dwark umbrella tree’s leaves keep turning yellow and falling off? It seems to be more towards the bottom half of the plant and they all go down one by one rather than all at the same time.

When did you last repot this plant?

#### Canuck\_Goose replied on 2023-09-14

Two months ago I think

If they’re older leaves toward the bottom, and you’re still getting new growth on top it may be normal. If not I’d check the soil and roots to check for rot

Oh, that makes sense. I might repot it just in case, but I do see little bugs with lots of legs coming out of the soil when I water it

What colour are they? And do they have wings?

Brownish beige but they do not have wings
