Black? Bit weird, usually they go yellow then brown and drop off. Did you damage it when you repotted? And what exactly do you mean by umbrella plant? Schefflera? Any chance of a photo?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!

Roger, to get advice, could you read what Bamboo said? We haven't been able to answer your question yet.

This is the only question you've asked, Roger (and it's more of a statement), and you have no photos or anything else. I don't think you asked about it before.

My troll-ometer is twitching......

Yes, mine too.

Hmm, not aware I've given you any help, Roger... seems a bit odd to say thanks in the circumstances. But as the others say, if you want some help, you have to give more info, otherwise you might as well ask how long is a piece of string...

And how long is it, Bamboo? lol.

I expect you heard my derisory snort from there, Spritz, lol!

I think you'll find that it's just long enough to reach from one end to the other Spritz ;-)

Good answer, Beattie! I was thinking that it depended on whether you started from the middle...Duh!

Yes, I did, Bamboo. You have a very loud derisory snort. lol.
