Any advice is welcomed :) #BreniaSnowbush
Hi! This is beautiful Mia, I believe she’s a Brenia Snowbush. The photo with leaves is what she looked like when I first got her in 2021. The other photo is what she looks like today. I’ve just moved into a new place with much better indirect light. It is winter though, so I wonder if she is just dormant - I’m curious what others think though. Has she gotten too tall?
5ft to light, indirect

@WizardFrithia Welcome to the Greg community! Several issues can cause leaf drop. Sudden changes in temperature, humidity, or light can shock the plant.
Cold snaps can cause leaves to turn brown.
Too much heat can cause the plant to wilt.
Overwatering
Overwatering can damage the roots, which impairs the plant's ability to absorb nutrients.
Soggy soil can lead to root rot.
Underwatering
Dry soil can cause the leaves to drop as a survival mechanism.
Pests and disease
Pest infestations and diseases can compromise the plant's health.
Nutrient deficiencies
Yellow leaves can indicate deficiencies in nitrogen, iron, or magnesium.
Winter dormancy
The Hawaiian snowbush (Breynia disticha 'Rosea-picta') is a semi-dormant shrub that can droop and lose half of its leaves in the winter.
