Cape Angel (Plectranthus) Dropping Leaves: Prune and Increase Light

Your Plectranthus 'Cape Angel White' (Swedish ivy family) is leggy and dropping leaves due to low light and/or overwatering.

Fix

  • Prune longest, barest stems by at least ⅓. It's a trailing plant, not upright.
  • Place on sunny windowsill.
  • Water when top ¼ of soil is dry.
  • Don't repot—it's fragile.
  • Fertilize at half-strength monthly after recovery.
