Frequently Asked Questions

If the leaves drop while turning yellow with soft brown patches, the plant may be overwatered. On the other hand, if the leaves look droopy, feel crispy on the edges, the plant may be underwatered if the soil has completely dried out. Sudden exposure to hot air vents or freezing cold drafts from windows can also cause sudden leaf loss.

Yellowing leaves are most commonly caused by overwatering, underwatering, or a lack of sunlight. If the lower leaves are yellow and the soil is soggy, the plant is likely overwatered due to frequent watering or poor drainage. Conversely, if the soil is bone-dry, the plant is likely underwatered. Finally, if the plant is situated far from a bright window, it simply may not be receiving enough light.
