I have had this plant fore a month. It is a Schefflera. The leaves arfe turning black and falling off. What am I doing wrong. I transplanted it into a bigger pot because it was root bound. Now I also have bonzi that also seems to be doing the same thing. I have about 15 house plants bought at the same time and the rest are doing great. The pot I put it in is quite a bit bigger and deeper. I am ready to learn.

By far, the odds favor the idea that your plant is over-potted (too large of a pot) and being over-watered.

What kind of light do you have it in? These plants like bright light.
