Why
Why is my dwarf umbrella tree getting like this? :(

0ft to light, indirect

10β pot with drainage

Last watered 1 week ago
@Terrah2 I have one too and how Iβve keep mine happy was keeping it moist, making sure it gets lots of light, and placing it in a room with a humidifier! I think perhaps itβs not enough water? It looks a little crispy to me!
Building off of @ShinyBudew , how much light is it getting currently?
@ShinyBudew Iβve never kept it moist. So definitely making note of that. Iβve had it for a year now, and this is the first time itβs done this. π
@Terrah2 oh no!!! Perhaps it had enough of being thirsty π but I would see if some additional water helps and go from there! π
@Terrah2
If there are crisp, brown spots or patches on the leaves, underwatering is likely the cause. If there are soft, dark-brown areas, the plant is receiving too much water. If the foliage has straw-colored spots or patches, the cause could be watering with cold water, water splashing on the leaves or too much sun.

@ShinyBudew I hope thatβs the cause. π
How often do you water yours?
@Terrah2 honestly I have a bonsai version of the dwarf umbrella tree so itβs quite small, I was bottom watering it for 20 minutes about every 2 weeks, but this last time I was lazy and too watered and will probably either bottom water once every 2 weeks or too water every 1 week ish!
@KikiGoldblatt wonderful explanation π€© I learned something new too!
