    Hello!

    We bought the plant below about three weeks ago and in the last few days I have noticed that the smaller of the trunks/stems is losing its leaves at a rapid rate. They are not yellowed, yet are just dropping off. I have had a look for spider mites, but can see no indication of them and I have also ensured that the plant has not been over watered. Any ideas why this might be happening? The other two bigger ones are fine, although some of them do have brown tips. Thank you!

    Could be too much water, or... do you have a cat by any chance? ;)

    Hey there & thanks for responding!

    No, no cat! And I have not over-watered it to my knowledge (about once a week and it has been very hot here) - I am wondering if it had maybe been over-watered at the shop I bought it from?

    Since I posted, all of the leaves have come away and the stump looks soft, almost like it is rotten?

    i would get it out of that pot it is in .. looks like it dont get no drainage .. that could be the problem .. and also if you mist it you can see spider mites way better there will be a webbing ..
