Every day I find a few leaves on the ground. I read online that it might be root rot so I have been avoiding giving it water.

I might try to take it out of the pot and remove the bad roots. Does anyone have experience with removing bad roots?

The label says "Schefflera".

• 4/5 for sunlight
• 2.5/5 for water
• 5-25 for temperature
• Moderate for fertilizer

After I brought it home, I see that some of the leaves are turning dark and falling off. I don't know why.

Thank you in advance
