Mystery Tree Losing Leaves After Repotting

Repotting Stress + Wrong Light = Leaf Drop

New plant + repotting + low light = shock. Narrow 4" leaves, slim trunk, ball-shaped canopy suggests Ficus, Schefflera, or Money Tree (Pachira).

Immediate Fixes

  1. Undo repotting: Return to original pot with original soil.
  2. ID plant: Email photo for exact ID & care.
  3. Light: Bright indirect—move closer to window.
  4. Water: Only when top inch dry. Stop misting—doesn't help.
  5. No fertilizer until stable new growth.

Leaf drop during adjustment is normal; correct conditions stop it.
