Repot the plant using a fresh potting mix in a clean pot with drainage holes.

Leaf dropping is a common sign of an unhealthy plant. And here are some causes: Suddenly change in growing conditions and temperature, a small pot or root-bound state, water plant with cold water, lack of water, overwatering.

This problem indicates that your plant is suffering from anthracnose. To cure this, remove the infected leaves and don’t mist the foliage. Also, avoid wetting the foliage while watering the plant.

Due to botrytis blight, plants suffer from distortion, stunted growth, and dieback. You can manage this issue by isolating the diseased plant so the problem doesn’t spread among other plants. Also, cut the infected parts and improve the air circulation.

If you notice more leaves on your flowering houseplant than its flowers, it indicates excessive nitrogen or lack of sunlight. To avoid this, provide more light and feed with reduced nitrogen fertilizer.
