    What kind of plant is it? Is it in a pot, or in the soil? Was it outdoors? Did it get frozen or frost-affected? We need more information, because there are a lot of different things that can cause leaves to turn black and fall off, and some of them are specific to certain types of plants. Can you post us a picture?

    The Plant has always been inside, the change in the plant started about 3 weeks ago but lately the leaves are dropping more often than before. don't know the name of the plant.

    It´s a Schefflera. If you´re only noticing leaf drop on lower branches don´t worry - that´s a natural process.

    the dropping of the leaves are happening all over the plant...It starts as little brown spots the within a day or two the leaf would turn black and drop.
