Which plant?
I bought 2 of these plants from local nursery. They had been doing fine but after recent cold weather during last week or two they are shedding leaves(as you can see from pic,lower leaves are fading in color and drying up). Is it normal?
Kindly tell me its name and also mention how it could be propagated?

if lower leaves are fadding and new one are sprouting then its normal. but you need to upload the image for identification and further details.

Re: Which plant?
well i had this plant and it could not survive cold. one by one all leaves fell, however Karachi is not that cold, Where are you keeping it? how are you watering it? Did you transplant.

Re: Which plant?
I am keeping it outside in my garden,its not under any shade. I haven't repotted it since I bought it. By Karachi standards,last month or so have been cold compared to previous years . I do see some new leaves budding. but still am concerned about this plant.
