# I don’t know why my plant is loosing leaves and I think it might be…

_Posted by Melody on 2026-06-01_

I don’t know why my plant is loosing leaves and I think it might be from a hormone paste I used on it.

For a little more info I’ve had this plant for a few years and it’s new growth came out a little leggy but I didn’t want to chop any of the leaves so I found Kieki plant hormone paste to speed up growth on amazon which was highly rated my many people and decided to try it.

It worked very well and now every node has a new leaf growing out of it. (I’ve attacked photos below)

My only worry is that its older leaves are now falling off. 3 of its leaves are now gone within a 1 month period. I have also been fertilizing well to try to keep up with the new growth.

If you have any tips of know what it happening from personal experience please share!!!
