brown leaves
My umbrella tree is slowly losing leaves. They turn brown and fall off. I transplanted it about a month and 1/2 ago to a bigger pot (not too big). When I first brought it home, it was losing leaves like crazy. So I transplanted and it seems to have slowed down losing the leaves. I have it in an east window with all my other plants, and I water it when it is almost dry. The plant is about 12 inches tall. What am I doing wrong? I've been growing plants for about 30 years, so I am surprised with this one.
