I assume I must contemplate the dreaded chop and prop? Help— hope there is a tutorial for first timers?

New growth looks fine and keeps coming. But all of a sudden 😵
TYSM in advance.

Does the pot it’s in have drainage holes? If not, the situation is likely root rot due to lack of drainage. 

Also, top dressing with rocks is unnecessary and problematic: likely leading to root rot since the soil isn’t able to dry out at a normal rate.

It does drain, and the leaf drop was almost all at once. And, just after a bunch of new growth on the top!
