Could be a nutrient issue

### Cici commented on 2024-03-09

I have that same kind of plant and that also happens to me

I had a different plant that was doing this every time a new leaf would come up, the oldest one would start to drop. Someone told me that it could be because it needs to be repotted.

Mine drops a leaf or two maybe every month-ish, but it shouldn’t be too frequent. I trim him every once in awhile. Do you use quality filtered/distilled water? That’s a game changer.

Thank you so much everyone for your help!! I’m going to try adding nutrients/fertilizer and I’ve been using brita filtered water but I will try distilled water from the store. Thank you!!
