Hey all,
I currently have a schefflera/umbrella tree in my enclosure. It's been there for 4 months now and in the last 2-3 weeks I've run into a problem. The bottom leaves and branches have all slowly been falling off. I am very sad because the top half of the tree looks very healthy. The bottom half is barren and almost without anywhere for my guy to crawl around.
My question is why is this happening? Is it a lighting issue (as it only receives light from above) or is it a watering issue (i water the leaves regularly for Herbert my chameleon but I have recently covered the soil with papertowel due to Herbert attempting to eat soil).
Like I've said. the top of the tree looks fantastic and has infact sprouted new branches and leaves.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Here are the before/after pictures
