Hey folks! I have this four year old dendrosycios and i uppotted it when i brought it outside this summer (i’m in the PNW). It flourished all summer, happy as a clam, but when i brought it inside when the weather turned it started dropping leaves. I figured it was fine, its always a shock to move between environments, but it keeps having leaves go yellow and then drop even six weeks after moving inside.
I water it once a week, it gets 14 hours of light from a grow light, and i fertilize maybe once a month with dilute liquid fertilizer.
Thanks in advance!

Dormancy? Seasons are changing.
Could be a variety of factors. Maybe it’s acclimating. Your lights aren’t strong enough. Your indoors might not be warm enough and it’s going dormant etc. I grow mine indoors and I find they basically remain active all year long if kept warm enough, they may lose a majority of their leaves in the fall/ winter, but I find they still respond to water and will keep at least a leaf or two active.
Your soil mix also looks very organic for indoor growing imo. A higher ratio of inorganic material is probably better
I grow them under growlight for 3 years+ their leaves always like this, never bushy. Although Water them daily or sometime twice daily.
