Hi Everyone, I found this forum through online searches for plant help.. looks like a good place to get some info.

I have had this plant for around 8 years now. I bought it at only a few inches and it has slowly grown to around 4ft. Every once in awhile it sheds a few branches. They start by leaves slowly turning yellow, then they fall off. This might happen every few years. I've read this could be part of their natural shedding process.

However recently, 4 very large branches in the mid section of the plant have turned yellow suddenly. This would account for roughly 30% of the plants branches. In terms of changes to it's environment, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. It is currently winter here in Canada and our house may be a few degrees colder than normal, the lant might be experiencing more cold drafts than previous months, but this happens every year without issue. We have not changed location or watering habits. Last time I repotted was years ago and I have not changed soil in a few years nor checked it down below. I am thinking about doing that now but do not want to disturb it more than necessary. We fertilize it a few times a year.

I love this plant! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Today:
