4 Reasons the Dwarf Umbrella Plant is Dropping Leaves?

Most Dwarf Umbrella plants start to loose leaves because of being moved to a different location. This houseplant takes a while to transition into its new location and is somewhat emotional about it. The Dwarf Umbrella plant is a very sturdy beginner plant and should be fine.
Another reason your dwarf umbrella plants is losing leaves is because it’s not getting enough sunlight. It’s very common for a lot of house plants to start dropping their leaves to consume some of that energy to keep the plant a lot. It has to kill off some leaves in order to get soup and energy into other places of the plant itself.

My new Variegated Schefflera is losing leaves like crazy, but at the same time I'm seeing new umbrellas forming!

@user-mo5qx5co2y 7 ай бұрын

I’ve had my plant for over 40 years! It is no longer “dwarf” as it is now over 6 ft tall!

I've had my Schefflera houseplant for twenty years now and still going strong. Very easy to take care of. Watering it every two weeks if I go longer than that the leaves will start to drop.

Do they brown?

@@karinarodriguez3519 no they don't turn brown but they do turn yellow. And fall off.

This was SO helpful!! You did such a great job explaining. I have a mini umbrella and I love it! It's been doing very well but recently I moved it to my bathroom because it seemed to be needing more light and humidity. After I did this, it started dropping leaves. I've now figured out that because it's summer now and the soil dries out so much faster, I need to be watering it a little more. The plant itself looks very healthy, just dropping a few leaves since I moved it two weeks ago. Thank you for helping me figure this out! Your tree looks gorgeous!

My umbrella plant started dropping WHOLE branches, not just leaves. I just repotted, moved it, and strung it up to help support it's weight and keep it from drooping. Now after watching your video I'm terrified it's going to be SUPER stressed from all the action and possibly dropped what's left. Is it possible it could regrow more stems from where they previously dropped?

I’m having the same issue and it’s stressing me out :( I love this little tree! It had been fine for years and all of a sudden starting drooping branches. I repotted and it is still happening. 😢 Any luck rescuing yours??

Great video. I currently have this issue with my varigated umbrella plant. The only thing I've changed is that I've moved it from an area where the patio door would open constantly to let our cat out. I'm thinking the draft of cold air affected it. Boy, it wasn't happy! Now I have a long stem with leaves and another stem that's bare. Wondering if the bare stem will push out any leaves?

@daryljohnston5154 Ай бұрын

I'm no expert, but recently I googled care instructions for my Umbrella Tree and misting with/without nutrients was totally recommended. So I mixed in some stuff (nutrients/minerals) into the water and misted the whole plant-each and every leaf, underside and topside. She (I think she's a she) seemed to love it. If I could find any downside it's this: I live in an area with a lot of fine dust coming in the windows and because after misting the leaves are wet, I noticed quite a bit more dust on her leaves than usual. Because of this I plan on misting only once a month or so.

I bought my plant and it was kind of big and beautiful and I was so excited. Then lraves started dropping and many started turning brown. Now the entire plant is gone. I bought a smaller version and some of its leaves are turning brown and falling. I'm afraid it'll completely die like the other one. Do you think I could revive the first one and prevent the 2nd from getting worse?

I have a very large tree that I recently purchased. I repotted in a larger terracotta pot but used wrong soil. It started yellowing some and dropping alot of leaves. I took it out thinking it was the soil staying too moist and repotted back in same pot with tropical sandy soil. It has been dropping leaves like crazy, even whole stems full of leaves. I have decided to just leave it alone and not water at all for a bit. Any suggestions? Dropping the entire stems full of leaves has me concerned.

Mine is under a grow light and a foot back in west window. Watering isn't a issue a ton of new growth but it's even dropping new green growth?! It has a ton of new growth points because I cut the 2 main stocks end of last summer. But I feel like I can't keep it happy unless it's outside.

I've had my Sheffera (umbrella) plant for a few years now and I've noticed in the past few months it started dropping it's leaves, I have a whole section that is bare now (the tallest stem), I watered it last week and it's still pretty moist. I also think it's not getting enough light, I may move it closer to my window...is that a good idea??

Question: I have a scheflerra actinofolia I've had for about 5-6 years first four years or so it grew beautifully. But the last year or so all of the new leaves don't spread out like fans as they normally would. They come out folded back on their stems and stay that way. What is wrong with it and can I remedy the problem?

Does anyone know if a Schefflera exists with 3 leaves in each crown? I'm asking this because I was told I have a Schefflera, but it only has 3 leaves on each twig. To me that is not a Schefflera. I've been to plant nurseries and they tell me they don't know this plant or tell me it is a Schefflera which it is clearly not.

Is it just me or am I hearing Him say the same things and starting to not make sense what he's saying....."I'm probably watering too much but the plant is a thirsty plant and if the leaves are falling off it's probably getting too much water" My plant's soil is partially dry\moist but not soaked but it's still have 4-5 leaves dropping and I have it in a facing window where it can get filtered light.....HELP SOMEBODY!😢😂😅
