The leaves are drying and dropping. What do I need to do?

#FalseAralia
2ft to light, indirect
4” pot without drainage
Last watered 9 months ago
Hi @MasterMaitake15, thanks for sharing your concern. Drying and dropping leaves can often point to root stress, and I noticed your pot doesn’t have drainage β€” that could be the main issue.
If possible, repotting into a container with drainage could make a big difference. Also, be sure the plant is drying out slightly between waterings and isn’t staying soggy.

We are sad to see you False Aralia struggling! If your plant is in a double pot setting (a grow pot inside a decorative pot) pull out the grow pot and water thoroughly. Allow all the excess water to drain out before bringing it back into the decorative pot. Repeat when the soil is dry. Place it under bright, indirect, natural light. It should perk up in a week or two πŸ’›
