It might have fell or something in it is wrong. Well im not a plant nerd but here are some people you can ask
Hi Kathy- the most common reason is over watering. Water the plant only when the soil is 100% dry all the way to the bottom of the pot. Instead of a strict calendar schedule, use the "soak and dry" method, , which typically means watering every 2 to 3 weeks in the summer, and cutting back to once a month or less in the winter. Bottom water the plant for 10 to 30 minutes, or until the top layer of soil feels damp to the touch. The exact timing depends entirely on the pot size, pot material (terracotta or plastic), and the dryness of the soil. I hope this helps πŸͺ΄πŸ’•
I do agree with Catherine’s comment, but I think the cause is different. You see, it is common for the larger or older leaves to fall off. It is especially common in a plant similar to this one, like a panda plant. This is completely normal and will keep happening for different plants and at different times. I would stick to the watering schedule that Catherine gave you, thanks @SillyPlantGirl. Have a very nice evening! πŸ’«οΏΌ
Thank you for your responses. I will be more careful with watering. I do love this plant.
@FullSpinyrush , hi Cathy you may also want to repot the plant. If the soil is wet you may need to remove it as soon as possible. Gently dry the roots and repot with fresh soil.
Hi Kathy! I agree with Catherine's comment. It is most likely overwatering. Did they just fall off or did you touch them and they fell off? Maybe they are just delicate. But who knows! Just try watering a little less.
