But i’m just worried if there’s something else.

I water based on Planta’s recommendation.. so maybe lighting issue? #### cherrbear🐻님이 2024-06-30에 답변했습니다. do you check the soil before watering? planta is great as a reminder but you should always check the soil every time. #### cherrbear🐻님이 2024-06-30에 답변했습니다. my variegated one is in a windowsill with bright indirect light \& i make sure the soil is more than halfway dry before watering. non-variegated might not need as much light but you should fact check that. if it’s not getting as much light it won’t need as much water \& that’s why checking its soil before every water is necessary, at least until you resolve the leaf drop issue \& get the hang of the routine 🤓 #### cherrbear🐻님이 2024-06-30에 답변했습니다. \& it’s always a good idea to pop it out of the pot \& check the roots. i know that always seems like a daunting task but it might save you time \& grief to “get to the root of the problem” 😅 #### Stoki Stokhorst님이 2024-07-20에 답변했습니다. I haven’t checked the roots yet, however it has been having new leaves, so i don’t think there’s a root problem, right? (I’m assuming if there is, there’s now way it will have new leaves). Pls correct me if i’m wrong ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ANsCQ6dHko-5p17U8huZQrTviGyfFPOnu6BNbIIJPDE/4dj4Yd1OSTGTFsglyN8MLQ.webp?size=large) _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### eatyacarbs님이 2024-06-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. It is not normal for this many leaves to drop. When it’s the natural life cycle of the leaf it will turn yellow and drop. These turning crispy and brown en masse is concerning. Like Plantasia said you should check your conditions. I’ve had mine for about 7 years. It loves bright light, the more the better but if you’re going from part shade to full sun, do it gradually. Mine currently sits in a big east facing window so it gets good direct morning sun and then bright indirect for ~6 hours. I’ve had it under a grow light and in south and west facing windows over the years. The good news is that whatever is happening your plant will endure if you figure out the issue. These are super hardy — one of my favorite plants for all plant-keeping levels. Check you roots, let it dry out before watering, and get it as much light as you can 😊 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/437cvweqbki9dm3WGwIgPKYbWJm3edDRYD1cwUaz2Sw/QtyPyJdSTlCRmAJClRXbBg.webp?size=large) #### cherrbear🐻님이 2024-07-05에 답변했습니다. wow, gorgeous umbrella plant!! #### Stoki Stokhorst님이 2024-07-20에 답변했습니다. So i think this is what happens before the leaf turned all brown and fall… do you know what might cause this? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ANsCQ6dHko-5p17U8huZQrTviGyfFPOnu6BNbIIJPDE/XrO12MpSQOyQJLy3y9M8XA.webp?size=large) #### Stoki Stokhorst님이 2024-07-20에 답변했습니다. This is another example ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ANsCQ6dHko-5p17U8huZQrTviGyfFPOnu6BNbIIJPDE/BaLVdI8dQja_vzWyEk0O1g.webp?size=large) #### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-21에 답변했습니다. you need to pull it out of the pot and check the roots — i suspect rot 🧐 #### Stoki Stokhorst님이 2024-08-01에 답변했습니다. But they have been growing new leaves too. I was assuming if the roots rot it shouldnt be able to grow new leaves, right? _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
