Why is my umbrella tree doing this constantly? I’ve had to trim it down so much. I’ve repotted her because of this, it’s just in an old nursery pot with great drainage.

That is definitely a fungal infection. Get her cleaned!

Oh no 😭 how do I clean her? I haven’t dealt with fungal before

I spray my solution of choice (fungicide or neem, for me) all over the plant and clean the leaves by hand with a microfiber glove on! I also use these gloves for regular leaf dusting maintenance on my rubber trees and other plants that collect a ton of debris.

I recommend Captain Jack’s copper fungicide :)
