Why the leaves are brown? #299443 Nov 5th, 2009 at 11:57 AM Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2 Idaho CyndiD OP Member OP CyndiD Member Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2 Idaho [color:#CC66CC]Hi.. i'm a new member. I recently (approxly 1.5months) bought an Umbrella plant Schefflera actinophylla). It is about 6' tall; I transplanted it within 1 to 2 weeks of bringing it home. It started loosing branched leaves the first week or so, has stopped now. Now the top leaves (the new shoots, that were there when i bought it) are brown on the edges? Could this be from too much heat? or too much water? I have only watered it 2 or 3 times since i have had it. thanks for the help... Cyndi
