    You have a Schefflera arboricola, its very normal for them to drop leaves, especially if they are lower on the branch. This plant need bright light with some direct light and quite a bit of water.

    Arent you supposed to let Schefflera arboricola dry out between waterings? I only ask because i have a little arboricola in my room and would like to know if i'm watering it wrong.
