Indoor Gardening and Houseplants: Schefflera Plant, 1 by gardenerinct

I bought a Schefflera plant about 2 months ago from a local garden center. I left the plant in it's original pot although I placed it inside a larger pot. It gets light from a west facing window. I have noticed that the leaves from the lower branches are turning yellow and eventually dropping. I have been watering it about 1 a week taking care that it doesn't sit in water. I have not fertilized it. Any advice on how to stop the leaf drop? Thanks.
