My umbrella tree is not doing too well. It’s leaves are browning and dropping. I have checked the soil and it seems to be pretty dry after the last water. It was pretty far from the window a few days ago but I have just moved it to window side. How long before I should see any improvement?
If everything is fine with the roots, soil and lightning and it has proper drainage (holes in the bottom?!) you should hopefully see some improvements in a few weeks or so🤗

Agreed, these guys are super sensitive until established as well. I’d recommend watering thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Try fertilizing with kelp/seaweed the first time and any time your plant has gone through stress. This helps them rebound like you wouldn’t believe!
