Hi Can anyone help save my money plant? I have read the archive comments but am still stuck! I have grown it from a cutting and it is over 10 years old and stunning. I have not changed the position or pot or watering routine, it was repotted in the Spring and has flourished. Over the past few days it has rapidly started to drop leaves and the smaller stems feel saggy. I took it out of the pot which has drainage to see if it needed repotting but the roots seemed insignificant to the size of the plant so i just refreshed the soil and kept it in the same pot. Three days later all the branches and leaves have all bent to one side (towards the middle of the room not near the light). Is this because it is cold now in England and the heating has kicked in (its not too near a radiator)! I am petrified I am going to loose this beautiful plant. It does not have any bugs either - so what is causing this? How can i save it? Please help. Thanks

Mine too has lost its leaves and new ones start so far they haven't dropped.I moved mine a little further from the window and so far might be the solution. They don't do well in drafts!

Thanks for the advice i have been trawling all the housecare plant books and i think they do this when the temperature around it is too hot (which it is in the uk with the heating on) so i have moved it upstairs which is cooler and the leaves have stopped falling as rapidly but you are right there are loads of little shoots so hopefully it will survive. Thanks
