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!

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

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!

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.

I moved mine indoors after it was outside during the summer, and now she's dropping leaves. I think she's mad at me. I'm not too concerned yet, but I am keeping an eye on her.

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 have a big one I got in the mail and had it for like 3-4 months and in that time it lost bottom half of it leaves so I put it in a south facing window and it seems happy now

Mine goes in cycles, in the summer the leaves are with spots, in the winter she turns completely green… I have it for more than 10 yrs and it can tolerate winter temperatures as low as 10 degrees but not for long

Do u prune off the branches missing leaves or do they regrow on the empty branch

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?

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.

This is the most helpful video. Thank you!

Hi Christ, we just got our umbrella plant and l would like to know if we could use a mister to water this plant? Thank you, a quick reply would be deeply appreciated.

i have a little problem with my umbrella tree, she has some leaves with short stems on top and a little second brach on the bottom with amazing growth, very big healthy leaves in a short time, how do i get her to grow from the top as well ??

[adtsetful]

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?
